-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I installed parabola with full disk encryption on my T400 until the point where I have to boot from Grub manually. This is getting hard (or maybe impossible?) because of my bootscreen (https://i.imgur.com/LqAdmmK.jpg). I can't see what I type in the console and if it's working. I used a usqwerty-vesafb rom for flashing, which is not my actual keyboard layout. Instead of booting manually I thought I'd install Grub with a few changes in /etc/default/grub. I added GRUB_CRYPTODISK_ENABLED=y and I added the kernel parameter GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“cryptdevice=/dev/sda1:root root=/dev/matrix/rootvol“ I used fdisk when creating the LUKS partition. Using cfdisk does not leave enough disk space (see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1059827) for Grub. You either have to install it outside the MBR, resize (if possible) or start all over again. I installed Grub with the hope of being recognized automatically by libreboot. This works with Trisquel 7 (which I did not encrypt) but not (yet) with Parabola (?). I am asking myself if I should be able to start Parabola with FDE this way? When would I have to type in the keyphrase in Grub? I wouldn't know because of the trouble with my bootscreen. I can use the different options at bootscreen, though. I used the latest Parabola live ISO (2015.08.01) because I couldn't get a wireless connection with an older ISO (probably kernel related). I used a wiped SSD to try out. Trisquel is on another HDD. Is this the right approach? Should I try with Grub on an USB stick? Any comments or ideas are much appreciated.
