It's "something completely different."
I'm using Lemote YeeLoong and PMON as a bootloader.
PMON's conf is pretty easy to understand:
title 1
kernel (wd0,0)/vmlinuz-linux-libre
initrd (wd0,0)/initramfs-linux-libre.img
args root=/dev/mapper/main console=tty no_auto_cmd
But this is not working.
It drops me to a recovery shell:
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
ERROR: device '/dev/mapper/main' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/mapper/main'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
Trying to continue (this will most likely fail) ...
:: mounting '/dev/mapper/main' on real root
mount: special device /dev/mapper/main does not exist
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
Should it work this way?
Should I decrypt the main partition using the recovery shell?
(I can't access /dev/mapper from the recovery shell.)
Thanks
