Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-3
Severity: important
To summarize:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Switching root ...
/usr/lib/yaird/exec/run_init: opening console: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
This is the beginning of some documentation on setting up an
encrypted root device with LUKS and gets to my problem at the end:
First I did an etch network install. I set up the disk as:
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hda5 future / (not used)
/dev/hda6 future /home "
/dev/hda7 future /usr "
/dev/hda8 future /var "
/dev/hda9 temporary /
Installed Debian on /dev/hda9 with a bare-bones "testing" system,
kernel-image-2.6.15-1-386. (I used -1-686 since I have a P4.)
Rebooted into 2.6.15. (etch netinstall had 2.6.12 onboard.)
Install cryptsetup with luks support, which is currently only
in the unstable distrib. So add the unstable line to sources.list,
and add 'APT::Default-Release "testing";' to apt.conf. Then do
`apt-get install -t unstable cryptsetup`.
Set up /dev/hda5 with luks according to the saout wiki
(http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=EncryptedDeviceUsingLUKS),
first filling the partition with random data.
Use a good long passphrase for the root partition.
cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -h ripemd160 \
-y luksFormat /dev/hda5
Line for /etc/crypttab:
root /dev/hda5 none cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,hash=ripemd160,luks
Then do:
/etc/init.d/cryptdisks restart
mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/mapper/root
mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt
cp -ax / /mnt
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
Edit /mnt/etc/fstab and change mount point / to file system
/dev/mapper/root.
chroot /mnt
mount sysfs /sys -t sysfs
mount proc /proc -t proc
mount /dev/hda1 /boot
yaird --verbose --outfile=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-686-luks > tmp/yairdout
rm initrd.img
ln -s boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-686-luks initrd.img
yaird seems to use the cryptsetup-luks template. It also seems to
do the prologue template correctly (which is supposed to get /dev/console.)
I edited menu.lst to include a line with root=/dev/mapper/root/ .
I do get a prompt to type the luks password. Yay!
But immediately I see:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Switching root ...
/usr/lib/yaird/exec/run_init: opening console: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
It would appear that yaird is not putting the console device in?
Any clues?
