Does "everything works" mean "SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB-thing mounts and works normally on new computer"? Is this unencrypted system using same kernel + kernel config as the setup that fails? > 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 To me that looks like it is stuck detecting partition table, which isn't present because you are mounting partition-table-less /dev/sda device. > <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 My guess here is that device didn't respond in time -> timeout -> reset. > At this point, the passphrase prompt does not show up but if I type > characters they are echoed on the screen.

And that mount() system call is also stuck waiting for something, most likely in same place as the stuck partition table detect code. > 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). Does it work if you only include USB 2 driver in your kernel, with USB 1.1 drivers removed? > Any advice on how to fix this would be great. Are there any power-saving/sleep-mode settings in the BIOS of that new computer that power down devices at "wrong" time? Posting loop-AES version, build-initrd.sh config, kernel version, (compressed) kernel config, and bootloader config may help. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
