Public bug reported: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
I upgraded to Karmic and used it without any problems but when upgrading to Lucid yesterday a heap of problems appeared. Thanks to all the great resources here and elsewhere on the net I have been able to solve most of these today but one very annoying one has remained and I can't seem to find a solution: During boot process, after the message "Waiting for encrypted source device" appears I have to wait more than 3 minutes before I am asked to enter the passphrase for my encrypted root partition (before upgrading to Lucid there was no such delay). According to bootchart initramfs' cryptroot script falls asleep for over 3 minutes before the crypted root comes up and askpass is called to ask for the passphrase. Here are some changes I have had to make to the standard installation due to other errors after upgrade: I had to deactive framebuffer and plymouth splash during boot because when using the framebuffer even after waiting for 3 minutes I could not enter the passphrase and continue to boot because normal keypresses were not registered by the system (only special keys such as ESC, ALT-combinations etc. which changed between splash and framebuffer text mode). This is also why cryptsetups' askpass is being used for passphrase retrieval and not plymouth. Furthermore, I kept getting an error message about /scripts/functions missing whenever running update-initramfs and I had to edit /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot to remove that error as described here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576488 . After that, no more errors appeared when running update-initramfs but I still had to wait for 3+ minutes for the root device to come up when booting. I am including /etc/fstab, /etc/crypttab, dmesg and the latest bootchart image .
