Need to do the "power button for 5" stunt to get the system back. The system is Fedora Core 6/Rawhide, and the last command issued (from /etc/rc6.d/S01reboot) is "/sbin/cryptsetup remove swap". It hits that, and *wham* we're dead. Works fine if I revert git-block.patch. The line from /etc/crypttab for the encrypted swap: swap /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-swap /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 This ring any bells? I haven't gotten ambitious enough yet to look for individual commits inside the git-block.patch (this is just one of 3 issues I've having to bisect in -mm this time around...)
