So far as I can see, these are the possible reasons why the cryptroot hook may silently fail to generate the configuration file: - /etc/crypttab is missing - The root device specified in /etc/fstab is not defined by LABEL or UUID and is not under /dev/mapper/ - The root device is not listed in /etc/crypttab (after conversion of LABEL= and UUID= to /dev/disk/... and sym-link resolution) - dmsetup ls returns an empty list of backing devices - dmsetup table says the backing devices are not encrypted
Quite a few possibilities there! Could you try adding " -x" to the first line of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot ? This will turn on tracing in that script and would help to show where it's going wrong, the next time it goes wrong. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings All extremists should be taken out and shot.
