Hello,
Thanks for creating this great feature! I recently had a chance
to test this but I ran into a strange problem when using the TrueCrypt
rescue ISO. I created a bootable USB thumb drive which contained
the rescue ISO and loaded it on boot using the grub truecrypt module
you created. The rescue ISO boots just fine but when I enter the
password I only get a "invalid password" prompt. I can verify that
the password I am using is correct by burning the exact same ISO
to a CDR disk and booting with it. When booted from a CD, the
password is accepted.
It is quite possible I am just configuring something wrong. Following
are a complete list of steps that I used to create the bootable
thumb drive, maybe you will see something I am missing.
My Software Versions: OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS grub: 2.02~beta2-9 parted:
2.3
Complete Steps (assuming /dev/sdb is USB thumb drive)
sudo parted -s -- /dev/sdb mklabel msdos
sudo parted -s -- /dev/sdb mkpart primary fat32 1 -1
sudo parted -s -- /dev/sdb set 1 boot on
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
sudo mkdir /mnt/truecrypt
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/truecrypt/
sudo grub-install /dev/sdb --root-directory=/mnt/truecrypt --modules=truecrypt
sudo cp truecrypt-rescue-cd.iso /mnt/truecrypt/boot
Then I created /mnt/truecrypt/boot/grub.cfg
menuentry "Truecrypt Rescue" {
truecrypt /boot/truecrypt-rescue-cd.iso
}
At this point I use the thumbdrive to boot the target system. I
select "Truecrypt Rescue" from the grub menu and the rescue image
boots OK. However, as I mentioned before, the password is not
accepted.
I am able to help test if you can think of any steps I should try.
Best regards,
Sam Nelson
