Package: debian-installer Version: 20190410 Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
I installed Buster with full disk encryption,except /boot because of #927165. All encryption settings were left to their default values (aes-xts-plain64, key size 512 bits). When asked for targetted versus generic initramfs image I picked targetted. The resulting initramfs image is missing the required algif_skcipher kernel module. When booting, the initramfs prompts for the cryptsetup password and fails with the following unhelpful message: "cryptsetup failed, bad password or options?". Adding the module to /etc/intramfs-tools/modules and updating the initramfs is sufficient to fix the issue. Alternatively, using a "generic" initramfs (MODULES=most) works as well. I'm not sure if it is an issue with debian-installer or with initramfs-tools failing to guess the required modules. I picked debian-installer since, as a user, it leaves me with an unbootable system. Please feel free to re-assign. Cheers, Mat. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: runit (via /run/runit.stopit)
