--- Begin Message --------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.101 Hi folks, I am trying to setup an encrypted logical volume to hold the root filesystem and swap. "Hardware" a virtual PC created using kvm. Problem: There is no password dialog at boot time. After a minute waiting I am in busybox. Looking inside the initrd I see all the lvm and cryptsetup and mdadm tools, but it seems that conf/conf.d/cryptroot is missing. I can manually luksOpen the physical volume, activate the volume group and mount the root partition. initrd cannot :-(. If I try the same procedure on a laptop and squeeze, then the cryptroot config file is included. The laptop boots with password dialog as expected. Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.

--- Begin Message ---Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.4.3-2 The initramfs hook script in older versions of this package parsed the output of 'dmsetup ls' with a sed regex - the output of 'dmsetup ls' has changed (recently?) which is what caused this bug. As of 1.4.3-2, the hook script has an implementation of get_lvm_deps which uses invocations of 'vgs', 'dmsetup splitnames' and 'dmsetup info' and which doesn't need to parse their output nearly as much, and does not appear to have a problem with any of the dmsetup output it relies on. To check whether you are affected, you can run updated-initramfs -u, then: mkdir -p /tmp/unpack-initrd cd /tmp/unpack-initrd cpio -i < <(cat /boot/initrd.img-VERSION-ARCH | gzip -dc cat conf/conf.d/cryptroot You should see something like: target=VOLUME,source=/dev/PARTTION,key=none,rootdev,lvm=VOLUME-BLAH target=VOLUME,source=/dev/PARTTION,key=none,lvm=VOLUME-MOREBLAH Typically, if you are affected, this file ("cryptroot") will be missing. End Transmission.
