I can't figure out how to subscribe to the list, so I hope that just sending is OK. I've installed SolydX (Debian), but it won't boot. It never asks me for sda3's password, and after a bit always drops me to (initramfs), saying that no root disk was found. Indeed there is no /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt. For some reason, on boot it is not setting up the luks disk. My method below works just fine for a SolydK install (KDE), but not for a SolydX install (XFCE). The installer does not support encryption, so I installed it to partitions: /boot /dev/sda1 200MB ext3 / /dev/sda4 1.8TB jfs While still in the SolydX live DVD: # cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda3 # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 sda3_crypt # mkfs.jfs /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt # mkdir /media/3 # mount /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt /media/3 Now I copied everything from sda4 (the / install) to sda3 # rsync --archive --hard-links --numeric-ids --progress /media/solydxk/???/* 3 # cd /media/3/etc In /etc/crypttab (which doesn't exist in SolydX until I create it, in contrast with SolydK which has one): sda3_crypt /dev/sda3 none luks In fstab: /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt / jfs errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1 # mount /dev/sda1 /media/3/boot # cd /media/3 # mount -t proc proc proc/ # mount -t sysfs sys sys/ # mount -o bind /dev dev/ # mount -t devpts pts dev/pts/ # chroot /media/3 /bin/bash In /etc/initramfs-tools/modules: dm_mod dm_crypt aes_x86_64 Then # which cryptsetup /usr/bin/cryptsetup # update-initramfs -k all -u # nano /etc/default/grub and add to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT ipv6-disable=1 # update-grub -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different... _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
