Hi. I can't get the kernel to accept my passphrase at boot time.
Excerpt from dmesg: ... FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 #0: Tue Nov 6 15:06:03 UTC 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPCAT Preloaded elf kernel "/boot/kernel/kernel" at 0xffffffff808a5000.

GEOM_ELI: Encryption: AES-CBC 128 GEOM_ELI: Crypto: software Then it works fine. Any ideas ? Another issue with BETA1.5 was that when disklabeling /dev/ad4s3e.eli into multiple slices, after newfsing and mounting, I could create files and fsck the filesystem, but as soon as I created a directory, it caused a panic. I didn't see that after cvsuping to RELENG_7 then though, so i assume something was already fixed in that department. Marc
