--- Begin Message ---Package: dracut Version: 045+132-1 Severity: normal I briefly tried dracut on a minimal system with cryptosetup+luks root filesystem. Everything works as expected. I discovered a minor issue with the password prompt. During boot, the prompt to unlock the root fs has a timeout. If the timeout is reached, you're dropped onto a recovery shell. At this stage, unfortunately, the password prompt seems to be still active and is still eating half of the keypresses in the background, making it impossible to actually use the recovery shell. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (800, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-rc3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dracut depends on: ii dracut-core 045+132-1 dracut recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---Package: dracut Version: 048+80-1 Since version 048 dracut has a new option to set the timeout which is defaults to wait forever. **rd.luks.timeout=**__<seconds>__:: specify how long dracut should wait when waiting for the user to enter the password. This avoid blocking the boot if no password is entered. It does not apply to luks key. The default is '0', which means 'forever'. -- regards Thomas
