Subject: Re: kern/157863: [geli] kbdmux prevents geli passwords from being
 entered properly on boot
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:19:40 +0200

 Hello,
 
 Just to let everyone know that this is still an issue.
 
 I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 on a Lenovo X121e and I
 can't get it to accept the geli passphrase during boot. I've confirmed
 using kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase=1 that the passphrase is
 correct, and the same passphrase is accepted when the system is
 booted up.
 
 I've tried disabling kbdmux in /boot/device.hints like the PR said,
 but that didn't help. I also tried disabling atkbd and atkbdc without
 any luck, infact I couldn't type anything at all when disabling those.
 
 Any hints or suggestions to what I might try ? I have another 9-stable
 laptop that mounts a geli volume at boot, no idea why that one works
 and this new one doesn't.
 
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 /Thomas Steen Rasmussen
