LUKS support in grub2

LUKS support in grub2

[Miguel Landaeta]

Hi,

Is there any plan to add support for LUKS to grub2 in order to boot
from a full encrypted disk?

I ask because in 2009 I found a patch from Michael Gorven
(actually I even found a HOWTO[1] describing that feature)
for grub2 1.97 with that feature already implemented but it was
never merged, so I was wondering what happened with that.

Cheers,

There are several chunks of code which need merging together, some
cleanup and important design fixes. It's somewhere in TODO.
