Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-11-server
(might be the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/377418) = High level info = I have encrypted partitions which I need to be mounted automatically during boot. I have a key file that unlocks the luks devices for those partitions in a USB pendrive. I have an entry in /etc/fstab to mount that pendrive by UUID (so that it isn't dependent in the order of recognizing the devices) like this: UUID=407F-3264 /etc/dm-keys/mnt vfat defaults 0 0 I added an entry in /etc/default/cryptdisks so that this is mounted before processing /etc/crypttab like this: CRYPTDISKS_MOUNT="/etc/dm-keys/mnt" Finally, my /etc/crypttab: # <target name> <source device> <key file> <options> cryptoswap_a /dev/sda2 /dev/urandom cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,size=256,hash=sha256,swap cryptoswap_b /dev/sdb2 /dev/urandom cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,size=256,hash=sha256,swap cryptosafe /dev/sda4 /etc/dm-keys/mnt/dm-01.key cipher=aes,luks,loud cryptobackup /dev/sdb4 /etc/dm-keys/mnt/dm-01.key cipher=aes,luks,loud == Short story == When I boot, cryptosafe and cryptobackup are not mounted. /etc/dm-keys/mnt isn't mounted either... what's more... I don't see the /dev/sd* device at all, so I have to unplug/replug it to be able to mount it (after that, I can mount it by simply issuing 'sudo mount /etc/dm-keys/mnt'). == Longer story == It had worked before... my guess is that some kernel upgrade broke it, but I don't recall which... this used to be an intrepid server... yesterday I upgraded to jaunty but the problem is still here (although at one point in intrepid it HAD worked fine). === Boot errors === When booting, the first problem I see is ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) ata2: softreset failed (device not ready) ata3: softreset failed (device not ready) but IIRC, these were here since I installed the machine... I tried adding 'all_generic_ide' to the kernel line as explained in a couple of launchpad and forum entries, but the errors are still there. Immediately after that I see the following error which I guess can point to the core of the problem: modeprobe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-server/modules.dep: No such file or directory The file IS there, it IS readable (0644) and all the path to it IS traversable (0755). This message I can't find later either in the 'dmesg' output or in any log file (/var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages). After that, I get messages that special device /dev/disk/by- uuid/407F-3264 doesn't exist so /etc/dm-keys/mnt can't be mounted, and that cryptosafe and cryptobackup could not be opened since the key file wasn't found (which is reasonable at this point). If anyone can point me to a solution or workaround for this problem I'd be really grateful.
