Hi Jérémy, sorry to have taken so long to get back! I had to give my brother the flash drive, and only recently got another one to test with.
I tried this installation again with a daily build: == Daily build #3 for i386, using installer build from sid == This build finished at Sat Jan 17 15:10:11 UTC 2009. The problem still stands -- /scripts/local-top/cryptroot does not wait for its cryptsource, and reaches here: message "cryptsetup: source device $cryptsource not found" return 1 I guess the assumption is that udev_settle would find the device, but it seems not to -- udev_settle considers itself finished *before* all the USB devices have been detected, so udev_settle isn't doing what we expect in this case. As requested, here are the versions: ii cryptsetup 2:1.0.6-7 ii initramfs-tools 0.92o Cheers, David On Wed 30 Jul 2008 2:21 am, Jérémy Bobbio wrote: > On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 12:47:02AM -0700, David L.
