I recently used the Debian stable installer to put Linux on a laptop that already had MS-Vista. I created an unencrypted boot partition and a big partition encrypted using dm-crypt. The big partition in turn was managed by LVM. This was working fine, but after a few weeks (maybe less) without booting into Linux I tried today, and could not give LUKS a pass-phrase it liked. My initial guess was wrong. First question: is there a lockout for some time after a certain number of wrong guesses? I tried repeatedly, without luck. I used several variants, including depressing shift lock. I wrote down most of the pass phrase when I created it, so I'm pretty sure I have the right value. (but I think I created it twice... the phrase also matches my recollection). I did upgrade the kernel from 2.6.22-2 or 2.6.22-3 (Debian releases) and upgraded other software, possibly incuding the initramfs generators as well. What can I do? Thanks. I'm not subscribed, so would appreciate being cc'd on the response. Is there a canonical location for the list archives?
