Cannot boot with encrypted root |
Date: |

(Ludo suggested to report this as a bug, so this issue won’t get lost.)
While booting, GRUB prints this error:
error: file
‘/gnu/store/rz…-linux-libre-3.17.3/bzImage’ not found.
which is not surprising since the store is encrypted.
I’ve tried putting these lines after the “setparams” line in the GRUB
config (by hitting the ‘e’ key):
insmod luks
cryptomount hd0,gpt3
set root=crypto0
After pressing the ‘F10’ key, I get a password prompt. And after that, a
bunch of warnings about ‘/dev/mapper/main’:
ext2fs_check_if_mount: Can’t check if filesystem is mounted due to
missing mtab file while determining whether /dev/mapper/main is mounted.
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open
/dev/mapper/main
Possibly non-existent device?
‘fsck.ext3’ exited with code 8 on /dev/mapper/main; spawning REPL

It took us a while but this part is now fixed with cc0e575, and commit
07779d0 adds dm-crypt.ko and xts.ko and their dependencies to the
default initrd.
I’m closing this bug, but if you have time and interest, you’re welcome
to confirm whether this works for you.
Thanks!
Ludo’.
