Hi, I used yum update to apply the usual security patches and a kernel update was downloaded and applied. The kernel moved from 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 to 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5 When I rebooted the boot failed as it could not unlock the encrypted root partition. Previous kernels can still unlock the disk and boot successfully.
The machine is a Dell D820 Laptop. Prior to the request for a LUKS passphrase I see insmod errors for padlock.ko but these have not caused problems before and appear for both kernels. After entering the passphrase I get:- device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping Check kernel for support for aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 cipher spec and verify that /dev/sda2 contains at least 133 sectors. Failed to read from key storage. Thanks Paul
