Please note: The above workaround is not complete. After setting up your filesystems and mount points, installation continues, but GRUB2 installation fails. After choosing "Continue without installing bootloader", system reboots and GRUB2 comes up, but booting the new Natty installation drops into the initram shell. Now you have to
* enter "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 sda5_crypt" * enter "vgchange -ay" (no vgscan needed or even possible) * enter "exit" to resume boot process. After logging in, you have to set up a working /etc/crypttab (probably missing because the installer did not create the crypted partition itself) and create a new initrd. To do so, * enter "sudo blkid | grep crypto_LUKS" and copy/paste the UUID into a new /etc/crypttab file, which has to look as follows: sda5_crypt UUID=<UUID from blkid cmd here> none luks Then regenerate the initrd: * Enter "update-initramfs -u" Now Ubuntu will ask for the passphrase of the encrypted partition and boot successfully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285890 Title: Does not show encrypted partition -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
