Public bug reported: Somehow recently the default kernel config for kernel 4.6 was changed from CONFIG_UNIX=y to CONFIG_UNIX=m.
This however prevents systems with full disk encryption to start properly, as the lvm encryption tools require unix sockets during set-up in the initrd. The proper fix would either be to restore CONFIG_UNIX=y or to force the unix.ko module to always be included (and loaded) in the initrd. The latter is likely to be the better approach, thus filing this against initramfs-tools. ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585587 Title: Missing unix.ko in 4.6 initrd prevents LVM boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1585587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
