    mkinitramfs error during luks setup

    Greetings,

    i'm trying to follow the instructions for encrypting a RPi/3 with Kali as shown here as several other have. I've searched through the other issues on here and didn't find a solution to the problem I'm having.

    When creating the initramfs.gz I get a couple of errors:
    Code:
    root@kali:/# root@kali:/# mkinitramfs -o /boot/initramfs.gz
    cryptsetup: ERROR: Couldn't normalise device /dev/root 
    cryptsetup: ERROR: Couldn't find sysfs directory corresponding to /dev/root
    cryptsetup: WARNING: The initramfs image may not contain cryptsetup binaries
        nor crypto modules. If that's on purpose, you may want to uninstall the
        'cryptsetup-initramfs' package in order to disable the cryptsetup initramfs
        integration and avoid this warning.
    I have found other issues with files being in different directories, but there is no file named "root" in the /dev folder. Using
    Code:
    find / -name root
    returns several files and I don't think I missed a step.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I'm no expert at Linux, I can barely fumble my way through, but I'm learning.
