Hi all, my first post, and first time with loop-aes, but I may(?) have found a bug or at least need help with a problem I'm having. Situation: loop-aes 3.0d with gentoo 2.6.12.5, (read the loop-aes readme, followed all directions) and used knoppix to do the actual encrypting commands. In the build-initrd.sh script, because I have a 2.6 kernel and I'm using USEPIVOT=1, with AES256 and a rootkey.gpg file, and have my kernel compiled with all the correct options (ram disk, initrd support, minix, no cramfs) and am using the correct fstab entry of /dev/loop5 for the root drive. The file system on both /boot and / is ext2 and I'm using udev for device management. The grub.conf entry is: title l33t Gentoo Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /kernel root=100 init=/linuxrc initrd /initrd.gz which I know works because I get to the part where I enter the password, as opposed to getting init= or wrong fs-type errors. When I enter the correct password I get the following message: pivot_root() to new root failed. Older kernels don't have pivot_root(). I have not looked at the code, but does this mean initrd thinks I have an older kernel, as opposed to 2.6.12.5? I googled this, but nothing came up - what to do? My box is not so l33t now :-( Please help, David - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
