Hello,<br><br>I&#39;ve looked around but can&#39;t seem to find the solution to my seemingly simple problem.  Anything pointing me in the right direction would be highly appreciated.<br><br>I&#39;m running debian (mostly) lenny on an x86_64.  I have been using dm-crypt on an LVM volume group containing 2 logical volumes: one for my swap and one for my root partition.  I&#39;m very happy with it and everything is working perfectly.  Recently, I wanted to install debian lenny to my external USB hard drive as a &quot;rescue&quot; disk for my internal hard drive.  I have already installed linux to my external USB drive before and, following a minor tweak in my GRUB configuration file, everything worked well.  However, I can&#39;t seem to get dm-crypt to work when booting from the external hard drive.<br>
<br>The cause:<br>During the CD installation of debian, the debian installer associates the external hard drive to /dev/sdb.  However, following the installation, when I boot *from* the external hard drive, the system associates it with /dev/sda.  So essentially, I&#39;m installing linux (and dm-crypt and everything else) to /dev/sdb, though it will then be called /dev/sda when I boot from it.<br>
<br>The question:<br>I&#39;ve already made the necessary changes to GRUB and the /boot partition is booting properly -- I can get a busybox prompt -- but I&#39;m unable to continue booting into the root partition.  Where are the files on /boot located that must be changed in order for the boot partition to properly deal with the dm-crypt encrypted LVM volume group?  I have already found the conf/conf.d/cryptroot file within my initrd image and have modified both lines in it.  (One line is for the root partition, the other for swap.)  I&#39;ve modified the &#39;target=&#39; and the &#39;source=&#39; entries (on both llines) to show &#39;sda3&#39; as opposed to the original &#39;sdb3&#39;.  What else must be changed?<br>
<br>Thanks in advance!<br>S<br>
