Doesn't work with full disk encryption

[veggiedefender]

Expected behavior:

On boot, the device encrypted with LUKS should prompt for the decryption key before asking me if I want to load the root filesystem into RAM.

What happens

Everything sort of messes up and then I'm tossed into emergency mode, since the root filesystem hasn't been decrypted yet

How to fix

I solved this by moving the ramroot hook after the encrypt hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding the initramfs. Maybe add some logic for detecting if encrypt is loaded, and insert ramroot after that.

Looks good, and thanks for testing with LUKS. I'm out for the holidays but will be back and fix this within a few days.

Hello, first of all great work and thanks for making it public. I've just stumbled uppon exactly the same issue and fixed it the same way. The only difference is that I'm not using LUKS but plain dmcrypt.

I've created this pull request for a very simple fix. I'm no scripting expert so please review it before accepting it.

Enjoy your holidays.

This latest commit should solve this issue. Logic was added to add the ramroot hook after any encrypt hook in /etc/mkinitcpi.conf as suggested.

Also the latest version is in the AUR.
