--- Begin Message ---Package: kernel Version: lenny The initrd - boot-skript /scripts/local-top/cryptroot fails, if the luks-encrypted root-filesystem is on an usb-device like an usb-key or an external harddisk. This happens, because the kernel-modules for usb are completely loaded (so the bootscripts will continue) but the drivers need some additional time to register such removable devices, which often are not up, when the cryptroot-script is searching for them. So you get the error message "cryptsetup: Source device /dev/sdaX not found" and the mountroot() will not find the devicemapper to mount the root-filesystem ... The following code (based on the solution for the same problems with not encrypted usb-devices in the function mountroot() in /scripts/local) added to /scripts/local-top/cryptroot in front of the lines " if [ ! -e $cryptsource ]; then echo "cryptsetup: Source device $cryptsource not found" return 1 fi " solves the problem: # If the cryptsource not up yet, give it a little while # to deal with removable devices if [ ! -e $cryptsource ] ; then echo "Waiting for root file system ..." # Default delay is 180s if [ -z "${ROOTDELAY}" ]; then slumber=180 else slumber=${ROOTDELAY} fi slumber=$(( ${slumber} * 10 )) while [ ! -e $cryptsource ]; do /bin/sleep 0.1 slumber=$(( ${slumber} - 1 )) [ ${slumber} -gt 0 ] || break done fi
