touch with one of the course tutors.
I copied my first post through to him, and in about 10 minutes and
two emails of plain, easy language, it was fixed. I didn't write down
the exact commands as I was otherwise focused, but I do recall that
we had to open the 'crypt tab' on the encrypted drive first, get the
volumes name, then close it and re-open again with crypt setup but
using this name. this seemed to resolve the error message I was
having, and everything went smoothly from there, re-installing grub
then initramfs.
The fact that this was so easy and close to my original steps, makes
me suspicious that people here knew all along, but were rather
choosing to withhold information or present it cryptically to prove
some kindof of 'point', as if I deserve to be punished for not
knowing enough answer a question before I even ask it. The tutor
himself alluded to this in his email:
"They're very much like Arch in this way - a whole lot of ego tied up
in "their" software, and the tone of your thread is pretty typical of
them. mailing lists tend to be particularly bad, a lot of
self-appointed 'senior' users who gatekeep pretty hard.

Could you have the course tutor post his fix for your situation as a
reply to the archive of the thread you started. It shouldn't take him
a whole lot of time, since the fix was so easy, and it will help anyone
with a similar problem who finds your thread with a search in the
future.
Imagine if someone had done this prior to your problem, and you had
searched and found it. Would you be thankful?
