On my first tries with the Debian installer, I am struggling with the limited
resources for installing to encrypted disks. I am using the same technique I
have used with Ubuntu, but failing at the last step:
I create my luks disk(s) before-hand, then run the installer. I find I have to
anna-install cryptsetup-udeb, as there is no such choice in "Load Installer
Modules". Dropping to a shell, opening the disk, and re-detecting hard drives
allows me to carry out the installation (as long as there's a filesystem in the mapped
device), but on reboot I'm at an initramfs without cryptsetup. So I use a debian-live to
pivot into the system to create a crypttab. I find I also have to install cryptsetup.
Then I run update-initramfs. Here is where I'm stuck. The new initramfs still does not
include cryptsetup. Why is it not recognizing the crypttab?
I have tried other approaches eg, during installation doing adding an apt-install
cryptsetup (after "Select and Install Software") and then editing crypttab, but
to no avail.
/D
PS. I pivot like this, in case I'm missing something:
mount root & boot devices in /target
for f in dev dev/pts sys proc; do sudo mount -B /$f /target/$f; done
chroot /target
Hello,
In the file “/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook”, there is a line
“CRYPTSETUP” which is commented and/or has the default value “n”. If
this is the case, replace the line with “CRYPTSETUP=y”. So, the next use
of the command “update-initramfs” should solve your problem if I
understood it correctly.
I think “CRYPTSETUP=y” is automatically set if you create an encrypted
partition by following the installer’s instructions, but not when you do
it outside these instructions.
