Jari, thank you for your suggestion.
However, the problem persists. I did set TOOLSPROMT=1 and rebuild my
initrd but the boot process hangs at exactly the same place as up until
now. It doesn't ask to press enter. The last message it prints is:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 192k free
and it just sits there. Note that it doesn't freeze - there is no kernel
panic and it accepts input from the keyboard. It echos characters typed on
the console and you can reboot by <ctrl><alt><del>.
My Grub configuration is pretty standard as per build-init-rd.sh
instructions. Namely:
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.22.1 Encrypted
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.1 root=100 init=/linuxrc rootfstype=minix
initrd /initrd-crypt.gz
I did verify dietlibc and it is working fine.
Regards,
Jivko
