Unfortunately there is nothing more to fix at the moment. All was overwritten with the ERPOSS4-dm-crypt-experiment and this should survive until better is available. I try it again next days with a spare-hd right from the very beginning. > To fix, do this: > > 1) boot knoppix > 2) mount partition where your key file is > 3) mount your encrypted root partition on /mnt > 4) run these commands: > mknod -m 600 /mnt/dev/console c 5 1 > mknod -m 666 /mnt/dev/null c 1 3 > mknod -m 666 /mnt/dev/zero c 1 5 I remember that I checked this very carefully but cannot remember whether they were allready there or whether I made them. I will give precise feedback in some days. Reverend - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
