I cant boot my system anymore. I updated my system a few days ago. I needed to recompile my kernel today to add a driver and now I got an error /sbin/cryptsetup not found while booting.
Code:
!! lvm failed to run, cannot activate logical volumes!
!! /sbin/cryptsetup not found inside the initramfs

I use since one year the same commands and genkernel-next:
Code:
genkernel --menuconfig --luks --lvm --makeopts='-j10' all

and after that
Code:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg


I also recompiled cryptsetup with
Code:
USE="static" emerge -av gnupg cryptsetup

No change, always the same error.
I use the actual kernel linux-4.9.34-gentoo
Code:
* Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 65
* Running with options: --menuconfig --luks --lvm --makeopts=-j10 all

Any ideas how to fix this?

After reemerge busybox and an additional update, rebuilding the kernel, the cryptsetup binary is already in the initrd. I checked it with:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/initramfs
cd /tmp/initramfs
xzcat  /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-4.9.34-gentoo | cpio -idmv
ls -l sbin/cryptsetup
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 63360 17. Jul 22:27 sbin/cryptsetup


very strange

Thanks for the detailed instructions! They have been very helpful and I have included them in the genkernel article on the Gentoo wiki.

Cheers!
