Uhm, how does the user know which volume the prompt refers to then? Maybe the text could be pre-rendered at mkinitrd time?
The current setup will show messages as soon as /usr has been mounted. I have made a small script that asks for a truecrypt password to mount an encrypted partition. This works fine with the plymouth display-text functionality. I am wondering if all information regarding the LUKS disks is present at the moment that the initrd file is generated. Also the system has to be able to generate png files for this. An alternative could be is to somehow force that the LUKS passwords are asked before plymouth is started. This can then be done on a normal console which can display text. My question would be how many users of openSUSE do we have that are using LUKS ?
