           Summary: mkinitrd: root on LVM on LUKS on RAID doesn't work
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.2
           Version: RC 1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: mvancura@novell.com
        ReportedBy: lnussel@novell.com

The following layering of devices is not properly handled by
mkinitrd scripts. Error in the end is "Device /dev/md0 not handled".

/                         [ filesystem ]
/dev/mapper/system-root   [ LVM ]
/dev/mapper/cr_md0        [ LUKS ]
/dev/md0                  [ MD RAID ]
/dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1, ..  [ physical devices ]

The way mkinitrd script are set up atm luks can only directly follow
lvm. Therefore setup-luks plays a trick to support LVM in LUKS (fate
305633) which in the end leads to the error message above. IMHO the
easiest workaround at this point would be to just not make that
condition fatal in setup-block.sh.
