In some earlier versions of the ubuntu installer, it was possible to encrypt the whole drive - whole means excl. /boot.
So I have a partition of sda1 and sda5, where sda1 is /boot and sda5 contains the LVM part with "system and swap" 2.6.27-11-generic is the latest kernel, where cryptsetup is still working, config-2.6.28-8-generic does not offer to enter an ecryption key and thus fails. The 2.6.27-11 fails on setting up the lvm part, so I have to do that in the initramfs (busybox?) shell with - kvm - kvm> lvchange -ay /dev/mapper/swap - kvm> lvchange -ay /dev/mapper/system - ^D (or exit) - ^D More info: fdisk -l /dev/sda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux /dev/sda2 32 996 7751362+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 32 996 7751331 83 Linux cryptsetup status /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt /dev/mapper//dev/mapper/sda5_crypt is active: cipher: aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 keysize: 256 bits device: /dev/sda5 offset: 2056 sectors size: 15500606 sectors mode: read/write lvm> lvmdiskscan /dev/ram0 [ 64.00 MB] /dev/block/254:0 [ 7.39 GB] LVM physical volume lvm> lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/serenity/swap VG Name serenity LV UUID NcdDdy-tt8l-sspt-13u3-T2ti-yXXc-xJ1a1H LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 2.00 GB Current LE 513 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:1 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/serenity/system VG Name serenity LV UUID 1izsR7-JxkZ-gL1j-eDHD-UFWp-6A3K-18AZP7 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 2 LV Size 5.39 GB Current LE 1379 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:2 -- udev has wrong name for devmapper devices, cryptsetup initramfs hook fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
