In case someone else runs into this:

I have an encrypted LVM partition that contains mount points for root, home, swap.
Apparently cryptsetup cannot see through the LVM to find the rootfs, and hence the
error.

I added the `initramfs` option in /etc/crypttab and updated initramfs for safety,
and everything worked fine on reboot.  I didn't try without the option, so I can't
say if it's required or not.
