Previously I was able to boot with the same setup since Ubuntu 10.10. My /, /home, /var and /mnt/media partitions are LUKS encrypted LVs on top of RAID10,RAID1 md arrays and accessed via a key-file on a usb-stick. /boot is on an unencrypted md (md0). What I would have expected is cryptsetup mapping the encrypted volumes, mounting them and normal boot of the system. Actually cryptroot unlocks the key slot of the root filesystem (cryptsetup: cryptroot setup successfully) but it gets stuck on waiting for the root filesystem. WORKAROUND: Boot in recovery mode. Wait for the timeout for the root fs to finish. In the recovery menu select "root" to access the root shell. Eventually the root filesystem is mounted after the failure hooks and I am able to boot by typing: # mount / -o remount,rw # mount /boot # mount /mnt/keydev # cryptsetup -d /mnt/keydev/keys/darkgoo/data-media luksOpen /dev/mapper/data-media data-media_crypt # cryptsetup -d /mnt/keydev/keys/darkgoo/data-homes luksOpen /dev/mapper/data-homes data-homes_crypt # cryptsetup -d /mnt/keydev/keys/darkgoo/data-var luksOpen /dev/mapper/data-var data-var_crypt # mount /home # mount /var # mount /media # exit Select menu item "resume". The system now boots succesfully. #lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu0.2 [modified: usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-18.29-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Oct 27 20:30:50 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2010-08-23 (796 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100427) MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: initramfs-tools UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-10-19 (8 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.initramfs.tools.initramfs.conf: 2012-03-07T06:09:36.142811 mtime.conffile..etc.initramfs.tools.update.initramfs.conf: 2010-09-04T17:39:23.260572 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1072180/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
