Hello, I have been using loopaes on my old laptop for several years without any problem. I boot from a USB stick to mount an encrypted root partition. Earlier this week I upgraded to a different laptop -- same manufacturer and same "generation", the main noticeable difference being that it supports USB 2. I simply installed the hard drive into the new machine and on my *unencrypted* system everything works. However I can no longer mount the root partition when the hard drive is in the new machine. I boot from the USB stick, and everything seems normal until a point: [...] Delaying /dev/sda mount for 15 seconds... sci 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access SanDisk Cruzer Micro sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 250879 512-byt hardware sectors (128MB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 250879 512-byt hardware sectors (128MB) sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through sda:...delay complete, continuing <6>usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-4: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 At this point, the passphrase prompt does not show up but if I type characters they are echoed on the screen. Pressing Ctr-Alt-Del reboots the system. At first I thought I didn't have usb 2 support built into my kernel on the usb disk, but I was mistaken (I do). I also experimented (after having put the hard drive back into my old laptop) with rebuilding the initrd image on the flash drive to add longer delays (both the "general" [can't remember the exact name] delay as well as the MOUNT_DELAY) and that didn't solve things. Any advice on how to fix this would be great. I can still perfectly access my system, as long as I move the hard drive into the old laptop. Do I have to completely rebuild the usb key on the new system? thanks in advance jules |
