I found that the Ubuntu alternate installer basically forgets to create an /etc/crypttab and the initrd would like that as well to boot properly. You can set up dm_crypt manually from the initrd shell (it drops to it I believe after a timeout at least if it can't find the root) and boot your system that way to fix it. My crypttab looks simply like this: md1_crypt /dev/md1 none luks Then mkinitramfs or reinstall the kernel package. Oh yeah, except 8.10 at least had a step more of an issue (which 8.04 didn't suffer from) since they seem to create a dm "partition" inside the dm_crypt partition. I'm not positive that that's a problem if this one is fixed though, but I didn't bother to find out how to do that. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/293754 HTH, anyway. I installed 8.04, fixed crypttab, and upgraded then while waiting for an installer fix... -- Mikko Rauhala <mjrauhal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> University of Helsinki, Department of Computer Science --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
