If console was redirected elsewhere, you would not be seeing these messages: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem) readonly Freeing unused kernel memory: 192k free So it is not console redirection issue. > Setting > > USEPIVOT=0 pivot_root is used after encrypted root file system has been mounted. So this is not a problem with pivot_root system call. Your encrypted-root-boot doesn't get that far, yet. > title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.22.1vanila Encrypted No Pivot > root (hd0,0) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.1vanila ro root=101 console=tty > initrd /initrd-crypt.gz [snip] > No filesystems can mount root tried ext2 ext3 minix > Kernel panic - not syncing > VFS: unable to mount rootfs on unknow-block(1,1) Did you see a password prompt before kernel panic? I quickly looked at kernel config that you sent me privately. I didn't see anything wrong with it. I also disassembled the /linuxrc program binary that was inside initrd-crypt.gz that you sent me. It seems to be linked to some older version of dietlibc. I looked at first few systems calls in main() function. Looked mostly ok, except there was one unexplained line: 8048383: 65 8b 15 14 00 00 00 mov %gs:0x14,%edx which was put there by gcc compiler. Maybe there is some reasonable explanation for why that is there, but I didn't immediately see it. Can you test an initrd that I created for you? I used this config: BOOTDEV=/dev/hda1 BOOTTYPE=ext2 CRYPTROOT=/dev/hda2 ROOTTYPE=ext3 CIPHERTYPE=AES128 INITRDONLY=1 DESTINATIONPREFIX=/tmp All other config entries are defaults that are found in unmodified loop-AES-v3.2a build-initrd.sh script.
