I just made an encrypted partition with cryptsetup which creates
a /dev/mapper/sda5 file. I formatted this ext3, this is for my /home
partition. Well I close the partition and rebooted, Now the system wont
boot, it hangs at Checking filesystems: It's looking
for /dev/mapper/sda5 which is not present.
How can the system ignore this partition? I think it part of
initscripts. Does it look at /etc/fstab?
/dev/mapper/sda5 /home ext3 noauto 1 2
This is not present until cryptsetup luksOpen.
Any suggestions?

Two things:
1. You might want to review the 'luksopen' script at the dm-crypt wiki:
http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=luksopen&comzone=show#comments
and this entry by John Maher, which is specific to FC5:
http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=EncryptHomeDirUsingLUKS
2. Modify the entry in /etc/fstab to
/dev/mapper/sda5 /home ext3 noauto 0 0
Changing the '1 2' to '0 0' will disable the boot time checking.
There is also a dedicated dm-crypt/LUKS e-mail list. More info at:
