You don't need the /home partition to boot your machine properly. Unless your distribution has some tools which handle the login/open/mount-procedure for you, you are not able to boot into runlevel 5 directly. You could boot into rl1, open your encrypted /home, mount it on /home mount /dev/mapper/home /home and boot into rl5 afterwards (init 5). > Could you also tell me what I should have in fstab? That's impossible without more information on your partitions. Unless you are targeting to do all the stuff yourself, I would recommend using a dsitribution which handles the crypto-stuff for you, e.g. Archlinux, Fedora, Opensuse, Debian, Ubuntu... whatever. There's full support in at least Arch and Fedora. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
