Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evms
I have an encrypted root partition that works with the standard "cryptroot" script in the cryptsetup package. I then installed evms, then on booting, cryptsetup compained that it couldn't decrypt the key for the root partition. I don't remember the exact message, but to me it seemed to relate to a kernel module (possibly aes-256). I used another kernel to boot (which didn't have evms in its initrd), removed evms, ran update-initramfs -k..., and everything is back to normal. I don't have plans to use evms so this problem no longer affects me, but I thought you might want to know about this. $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10" $ dpkg -l evms rc evms 2.5.5-26ubuntu Enterprise Volume Management System (core) $ dpkg -l cryptsetup ii cryptsetup 2:1.0.5-2ubunt configures encrypted block devices ** Affects: evms (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- LUKS (cryptsetup) + evms = unbootable machine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
