the problem stems from a kernel update on a full disk encryption exceding 100mb for the initial ramdisk.
i suspect every system with full disk encryption will be affected by this bug.
i could work arround it by setting modules=dep in the initramdisk tools config file and generate new init ramdisks.
it sounds way easier than it is. it costed me a week to get back into my system.
this bug is critical and should be fixed asap
