Followup on this. I tried to follow this guide :

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/En...systemLVMHowto

I am able to get in using the following suggested recipe :

*

Mount partitions & chroot
*

Install missing software to fresh installed ubuntu
*

Customize /etc/crypttab, /etc/fstab, /boot/grub/menu.lst
*

Rebuild ramdisk


However, when I try to rebuild ramdisk, I get an error message :

cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab -

The resulting ramdisk does not have a conf/conf.d/cryptroot file. Upon
reboot, the system hangs, then complains that /dev/mapper/lvm-root does not
exist and drops to a shell.

What is going on ?
