Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.7-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I upgraded my laptop this morning. The following packages were upgraded: p...@vedrfolnir:~$ grep 2009-09-02\ 10 /var/log/dpkg.log|grep upgrade 2009-09-02 10:00:13 upgrade ant-optional 1.7.1-3 1.7.1-4 2009-09-02 10:00:13 upgrade ant 1.7.1-3 1.7.1-4 2009-09-02 10:00:14 upgrade cryptsetup 2:1.0.7-1 2:1.0.7-2 2009-09-02 10:00:14 upgrade debhelper 7.3.16 7.4.0 2009-09-02 10:00:14 upgrade freeglut3 2.4.0-7 2.4.0-8 2009-09-02 10:00:15 upgrade iso-codes 3.10.2-1 3.10.3-1 2009-09-02 10:00:16 upgrade kipi-plugins 0.5.0-1 0.6.0-1 2009-09-02 10:00:53 upgrade libportaudio2 19+svn20071022-3 19+svn20071022-3+b1 2009-09-02 10:00:53 upgrade network-manager-kde 1:0.7~~svn941706-1 1:0.7~~svn941706-2 After upgrading a few packages (listed below) I discovered my laptop was unable to boot. The laptop uses a Luks partition with LVM (this was using a standard guided partitioning option back when I was installing Debian). The boot fails at around the same time I would normally be prompted for the passphrase to unlock the Luks partition. One (or more) of the upgraded packages triggered a rebuild of the initrd. Suspecting that this might be the cause of the problem, I tried adjusting the boot process. Using grub's built-in editor, I changed the initrd from the usual value to the backup copy (which has the filename with ".bak" appended). When booting from the backup copy of the initrd the computer booted without any problem. I then took the two initrd images, unpacked them and compared their contents. There was a number of differences, but the most noticable change was that the file: conf/conf.d/cryptroot that was present in the backup initrd was missing in the new initrd. This file contained cryptographic options for establishing the LVM ontop of the Luks partition. I've copied the contents here: target=sdb2_crypt,source=/dev/sda2,key=none,rootdev,lvm=vedrfolnir-root target=sdb2_crypt,source=/dev/sda2,key=none,lvm=vedrfolnir-swap_1 Suspecting that the absence of this file was causing the problem, I copied the missing conf/conf.d/cryptroot file into the new initrd's contents and repacked the initrd file. Booting off this modified version of new initrd was successful. Therefore, I conclude that the laptop was unable to boot due to the missing conf/conf.d/cryptroot file in the initrd. My suspicion is that the upgrade to cryptsetup triggered a rebuild of initrd that, most likely due to a bug in cryptsetup, resulted in an initrd that bereft of the conf/conf.d/cryptroot file. -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/vedrfolnir-root ro -- /etc/crypttab sdb2_crypt /dev/sda2 none luks -- /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/mapper/vedrfolnir-root / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/vedrfolnir-home /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/vedrfolnir-tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/vedrfolnir-usr /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/vedrfolnir-var /var ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/vedrfolnir-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 -- lsmod Module Size Used by i915 166840 1 drm 172672 2 i915 i2c_algo_bit 5988 1 i915 ppdev 7784 0 lp 10612 0 parport 38224 2 ppdev,lp bridge 48240 0 stp 2868 1 bridge bnep 13792 2 sco 10996 2 rfcomm 36016 4 l2cap 21152 16 bnep,rfcomm acpi_cpufreq 8912 0 cpufreq_conservative 7928 0 cpufreq_userspace 3652 0 cpufreq_powersave 1792 0 cpufreq_stats 4660 0 fuse 54768 1 btusb 12756 2 bluetooth 55124 9 bnep,sco,rfcomm,l2cap,btusb nfsd 269328 9 exportfs 4656 1 nfsd nfs 258400 0 lockd 68212 2 nfsd,nfs fscache 41704 1 nfs nfs_acl 3264 2 nfsd,nfs auth_rpcgss 40912 2 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 196936 10 nfsd,nfs,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss ext2 62816 1 firewire_sbp2 15424 0 loop 15980 0 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi 13232 1 snd_hda_codec_idt 62480 1 snd_hda_intel 26680 3 snd_hda_codec 75248 3 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 8152 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm_oss 37200 0 snd_mixer_oss 15072 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 78504 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss arc4 2048 2 ecb 3072 2 snd_seq_midi 6976 0 snd_rawmidi 23008 1 snd_seq_midi dell_laptop 4056 0 dcdbas 8560 1 dell_laptop iwlagn 83476 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7712 1 snd_seq_midi evdev 10448 25 serio_raw 5844 0 psmouse 42172 0 snd_seq 51376 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event iwlcore 106768 1 iwlagn snd_timer 21824 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 7476 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq rfkill 12116 5 dell_laptop,iwlcore mac80211 161280 2 iwlagn,iwlcore snd 63912 18 snd_hda_codec_intelhdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device cfg80211 65432 3 iwlagn,iwlcore,mac80211 i2c_i801 10464 0 soundcore 7984 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9984 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm i2c_core 25456 4 i915,drm,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_i801 wmi 7488 0 battery 7840 0 button 6512 0 ac 3872 0 processor 40160 3 acpi_cpufreq ext3 122848 5 jbd 48152 1 ext3 mbcache 8804 2 ext2,ext3 sha256_generic 9440 0 aes_x86_64 8928 2 aes_generic 27840 1 aes_x86_64 cbc 3776 1 dm_crypt 12984 1 dm_mod 59384 21 dm_crypt usbhid 37328 0 hid 41376 1 usbhid sd_mod 33720 3 crc_t10dif 2096 1 sd_mod uhci_hcd 22192 0 ahci 36480 2 firewire_ohci 22356 0 firewire_core 44980 2 firewire_sbp2,firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 2720 1 firewire_core libata 175500 1 ahci sdhci_pci 8160 0 sdhci 17604 1 sdhci_pci mmc_core 55472 1 sdhci led_class 5048 2 iwlcore,sdhci ricoh_mmc 4272 0 intel_agp 28752 1 scsi_mod 158768 3 firewire_sbp2,sd_mod,libata ehci_hcd 33804 0 e1000e 111728 0 video 21884 1 i915 output 3472 1 video thermal 15936 0 fan 5240 0 thermal_sys 16448 4 processor,video,thermal,fan -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cryptsetup depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.36-2 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.36-2 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libuuid1 2.16-3 Universally Unique ID library cryptsetup recommends no packages.
