Hi, I can confirm that it works, my main system is fully on Luks ( To be precise it is luks on raid1, and /home is decrypted with pam, swap with decrypt_derived.). I set up a similar system from a wheezy netinstall amd64 (2011-05-12) ISO. I did it in expert mode (don't know if it matters), I didn't go the "Debian way" (one lvm on luks) but I manually created luks containers (/, swap and /home), a separate /boot, then went forward with the installation and it worked flawlessly. I can't explain why it doesn't work in your case, you could try to add the required modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, or check in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf that you have MODULES=most and BUSYBOX=yes. Maybe cp the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot hook script to /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/, this shouldn't be necessary though. Do you have a /etc/crypttab file, is it accurate ? Is the fstab too ? Tried reinstalling cryptsetup from the chroot ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
