Some information: You will need to setup an initramfs or modify the one provided with the gentoo install to open your encrypted volumes (at least the root volume). I do not remember how it is "supposed to be done" in gentoo, but I do remember it's not as simple as installing software in the right order. A good starting point would be http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/DM-Crypt_LUKS#Generating_an_initramfs - and as this is really distro specific (or maybe systemd takes care of it - I don't know, I won't be trying) it is really beyond the topic of this list. Good luck with your setup, Heiko - -- Mein PGP-Key zur Verifizierung: http://pgp.mit.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlQftpAACgkQ/Vb5NagElAWsdgCfZmOaFuUE/DQdEby9jzrBexuX Bj4AoLuIcwtEKhaAByqGiHVYFI8qLpnY =vkDn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
