Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.4~rc2-1 Severity: normal hello David,
pushed my an Manoj trial and error i wanted to retry an encrypted root on current swap partition. did the following steps cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 sda2 mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/sda2 mount /dev/mapper/sda2 /mnt/sda2 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 # root cd /mnt/sda2; cp -a /mn/sda1/* . now having my newly encrypted root i thought to be easily boot of it, the encountered troubles where: 1) initramfs had no cryptsetup bin 2) initramfs had no dm_crypt, sha256 and aes modules 3) README.initramfs did not document bootarg to resolve 1) and 2) please do put those binaries unconditionaly, on the initramfs unless the cryptoroot hook is invoked with an dep arg for MODULES=dep usage. any other initramfs-tools hook support lands there so this was really counter-inituitive. also luks doesn't need an /etc/cryptoroot entry afaik? the following bootarg worked fine, please add it to the doc root=/dev/sda2 ro cryptopts=target=sda2 thanks + best regards maks -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages cryptsetup depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.08-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02 2:1.02.08-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libgcrypt11 1.2.3-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.4-1 library for common error values an ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libuuid1 1.39-1 universally unique id library cryptsetup recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
