> Doesn't look like a dropbear-initramfs bug, possibly a missing module if the device isn't exposed at initramfs stage.
I re-installed the machine, at this point I no longer have the sleep and cat missing bug. Not sure If I want to try having it back, with cryptsetup it does not like rescue mode initramfs updates. That said I have a new one (I did not install the basic system utilities): It now says: init-premount/dropbear: line 366: ipconfig: not found And right after the message about net-*.conf The system does not have ipconfig installed, I would say this is a bug that should be fixed in the dropbear script. Or added a as a package dependency/requirement ? -- William Desportes
