I'm implementing the dm-crypt w/ Luks disk encryption solution as outlined in this wiki entry http://gentoo-wiki.com/SECURITY_System_Encryption_DM-Crypt_with_LUKS.
The unlocking and mounting is working fine, however when I get to the bit where I need to switch_root and execute the init that exists on my disk my system just sorta.. does nothing. I enabled debugging (-x) for /bin/ash and this is the output at the time it needs to switch: + exec switch_root /new-root /sbin/init *crickets chirp* I thought it might be my /etc/conf.d/cryptfs or fstab, but those are both correct. It simply freezes after switch_root'ing... the cursor still blinks, I can make new lines, and a few keys work. But Ctrl+z or c does nothing. ctrl+alt+del doesn't reset it. Alt+F#s doesn't change anything. My only option is to perform a hard reboot. I've verified that the root system is actually mounted in /new-root and /sbin/init exists (/new-root/sbin/init) with correct permissions. I've tried busybox versions 1.2.2.1, 1.1.2 and 1.5.0. When I try and pass /dev/console I get: exec switch_root -c /dev/console /new-root /sbin/init switch_root: Bad console '/dev/console' Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Some debugging has revealed that there is indeed a /dev/console however there is no /new-root/dev/console. I'd be glad to post the init script, or any conf files. Anyone know what might be going on? _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
