Public bug reported: I am using http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/oneiric/main/installer- armel/current/images/omap4/netboot/ to install encrypted guided LVM over the serial port. It installs but the installed bootloader does not have "console=ttyO2,115200", causing the passphrase prompt to not appear on reboot. This means that I cannot enter the passphrase so the system is not bootable.
Workaround: edit the SD card FAT partition as follows: 1. dd bs=1 skip=72 if=boot.scr of=boot.script 2. Edit boot.script and add console=ttyO2,115200 3. Run "mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d boot.script boot.scr" (from the u-boot-tools package) ** Affects: debian-installer (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/848782 Title: Serial console not enabled for passphrase prompt when using LUKS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/848782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
