I've just installed openSUSE 12.1 on my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, alongside an existing 11.4 installation. In other words, each system has its own / (root) partition, but they should both mount the same /home partition, which is encrypted. 12.1 is on /dev/sda3, 11.4 is on /dev/sda6, both formatted with ext4. 11.4 asks me to enter the password for the encrypted partition halfway through the boot process, and is then able to mount it under /home. 12.1 never asks for the password, until the system is fully loaded and I am logged in. Then, during the session, a notifier message pops up saying that device id something_or_other requires a password. The 12.1 grub menu allows me to choose the 11.4 system to boot, but selecting this option takes me to the 11.4 grub menu first, from where I select the system I want to boot, eg 11.4 desktop, 11.4 failsafe or Windows, but it doesn't know about 12.1. What do I need to change to access my encrypted partition in 12.1 and mount it under /home? BTW, I've checked the 12.1 /etc/fstab and the /dev/mapper entry for the encrypted partition has automagically changed the 'noauto' option to 'nofail', as suggested in the Release notes.
