Hi folks,
I'm unable to boot my previously stable workstation after attempting to
install rinetd through systemd. Although rinetd worked fine prior to
systemd it doesn't work now and caused /var to saturate (10Gb). This may
or may not be related, but I mention it as prologue. I have access to
the system via a rescue key.
The problem seems to be that there is a bug in cryptsetup? which causes
a kernel panic. In the output below, md2 is (encrypted) swap and md8 is
/text - an encrypted partition. /text currently has only a few files
which I could sacrifice, although I'd rather not.
I successfully enter the password for md2 and then don't even see the
request for md8_crypt (ie a prompt for input) but get the following
(condensed) output below.
I'm hoping someone has seen this before and knows a workaround. I'd
rather not do a complete reinstall if I don't have to. What would I do
if there were a lot of files?
Thanks much,
Bill

Please unlock disk md2_crypt:
cryptsetup (md2_crypt): set up successfully
Please enter passphrase for disk md8_crypt on /text!
