luks_trim problems

Hi,

Whenever I try to boot better-initramfs with the luks_trim parameter enabled in my grub.conf, the better-initramfs cannot boot. The problem is that I get the following error:

cryptsetup --allow-discards luksOpen /dev/sda3 enc_root failed

cryptsetup unknown action

But if I run the same command in a rescue console, it works. I've even noticed that luksOpen doesn't asks me for a password, so I guess it's not waiting for the password but continuing nevertheless. But this only happes when I use luks_trim option. If I boot without that option, everything is OK.

note to self: apperantly if the --allow-discards is after luksOpen, it does presume that it is not an option but a device path, however if user it manualy in rescueshell it seems to work.
