Package: grub-common Version: 1.96+20080413-1 Severity: normal I am using loop-aes (via loop-aes-modules-2.6.24-1-686 and loop-aes-utils) for an encrypted root filesystem.
However, I can not update to a new kernel (automatically) because grub cannot figure out which drive my encrypted partition is on. donfede ########## # # relevant command output # bwing:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 73G 2.6G 67G 4% / tmpfs 494M 0 494M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 108K 9.9M 2% /dev tmpfs 494M 0 494M 0% /dev/shm bwing:~# mount /dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0,gpgkey=/boot/kf_root_bwing_2008-04-20.gpg,encryption=AES256) bwing:~# grep sda2 /etc/fstab /dev/sda2 / ext3 loop=/dev/loop0,encryption=AES256,gpgkey=/boot/kf_root_bwing_2008-04-20.gpg 0 0 bwing:~# losetup -a /dev/loop/0: [000d]:2180 (/dev/sda2) encryption=AES256 multi-key-v3 ################ # # aptitude install -f errors # bwing:~# aptitude install -f Reading package lists...
