I upgraded from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS, and _after_ installing the next new kernel (4.4.0-22) the new kernel's initrd.img did not have cryptsetup anymore. 4.4.0-21 still had so I have continued to boot to it for a week now.
I tried a lot of things before finding this bug, but it seems comment #4 finally adds a megabyte or so to the 22's initrd. I still don't get a password prompt when booting to 22, and the 22 initrd.gz is still 400kB smaller than 21's. For possible interest, I'm attaching two diffs: - Diff from 21 to 22+forcecryptsetup - note that I've removed btrfs package meanwhile since I was getting "Scanning for btrfs filesystems" messages on boot which I thought might be a problem - Diff from 22 to 22+forcecryptsetup The diffs are from ls -1R outputs of the initrd contents, with manual sedding get cleaner diffs, but including (don't let it confuse) all version numbers were changed to say "4.4.0-21". Notably while the forcecryptsetup included all the needed kernel modules and the cryptsetup tool, I'm still missing conf/conf.d/cryptroot on 22 which I guess is the remaining blocker for working. Maybe text.so too? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256730 Title: /usr/share/initramfs-toos/hooks/cryptroot does not honour the CRYPTSETUP variable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/1256730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
