Package: installation-reports Version: debian 7 i386 installer build 20130430 Boot method: USB stick
3 bugs during installation, reported together because they maybe result from same initial bug 1a/1b. 1a. can not use blowfish encryption for new LUKS partition 1b. can not use twofish encryption for new LUKS partition 2. swap not working in installed system after booting: /etc/crypttab refers to /dev/sdb2 but disk is sda2 when "cdrom"(install usb) removed. 3. cdrom unmounted itself. no_codename/failed to determine the codename for the release, failed to read archive === 1a === During installation I wanted to create new encrypted partitions. So in "manual partitioning" I created the new partition type "use for encryption" and I changed default encryption "AES" to "Blowfish". There was error: "No existing file system in this partition" Note: When changing encryption to AES, he doesn't ask me about disk's password (its cached). Is this safe? -----log: Jun 25 09:47:54 partman-crypto: kernel entropy_avail: 128 bits Jun 25 09:51:06 partman-crypto: device-mapper: reload ioctl on failed: Invalid argument Jun 25 09:51:06 partman-crypto: Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping for device /dev/md0.

Here doesn't reported an error, but in log is similar to the "Blowfish" error. === 2 === After system booting - I noticed that the swap is not working: swapon -s doesn't show any swaps. in /etc/crypttab swap has encryption twofish with random passphare but on "dev/sdb2". During installation probably disk was sdb2, because usb-stick (with ISO cdrom install) was sda. /!\ important - possible critical bug /!\ With this setup of /etc/crypttab would the booted system not try to overwrite /dev/sdb2 on the installed system, destroying some partition if the system would have 2 hard-drives? === 3 === In the same installation: after working around above problems (changing encryption type back to AES) installation was proceeding fine, until: error: "failed to read archive '/media/cdrom/...' " error: "Failed to determine the codename for the release" resolve: mount cd-rom manually (to /cdrom, to /media/cdrom/) seemed to fix this problem. -----log: Jun 25 10:20:58 in-target: Unpacking linux-base (from .../linux- base_3.5_all.deb) ...
