Thanks for your reply. I got it to work now. 2011/6/10 tv.deb...@googlemail.com <tv.deb...@googlemail.com>: > Hi, I can confirm that it works, my main system is fully on Luks ( To be > precise it is luks on raid1, and /home is decrypted with pam, swap with > decrypt_derived.).
(The additional RAID layer might make a difference. I dealt with a similar bug 2 1/2 years ago, where it didn't recurse correctly through the device mapper layers [1]; at that time I actually had a system where encrypted root set up by the installer mostly worked out of the box, too, and I was using LVM, so that might make the difference. But it also was lenny and not squeeze, of course.

(That's the case.) > Maybe cp the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot hook script to > /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/, this shouldn't be necessary though. My system didn't have the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot file; while trying to figure out why, I realized that the "cryptsetup" package wasn't installed! After installing it, update-initramfs now creates an initrd that *does* contain cryptsetup. I expected that the installer would install cryptsetup automatically (at least) if the user creates encrypted partitions using its partitioner. I would say this is a bug of the installer; anyone disagreeing? > Do you have a /etc/crypttab file, is it accurate ? Yes it's already been there and accurate. > Is the fstab too ? Is correct, too. > Tried reinstalling cryptsetup from the chroot ? Strip the "re" :) So I'm looking forward to report a bug against the installer (actually several, since it didn't install busybox either). BTW is there a way to make the boot process cache the pass phrase, so that when I'm using the same for several partitions it would only ask once? (Yes, I know that using LVM I could put all of those into the same volume group on a single encrypted physical volume, but I'd like to avoid LVM this time in an attempt to avoid potential issues (I'm suspecting LVM to be a part in some unexplained slowness that I'm suffering from on the machine where I'm using it).)
