When I was setting up root encryption on some machines with different
kernel versions I ran into problems with pivot mode. On some it
worked, on most it didn't, so I'm not using it for new setups these
days. I remembered there was some talk on LKML about it, here's the

Jivko, have you tried using an initrd with USEPIVOT=0? Don't forget
to adapt kernel boot parameters.
