Hello, after I upgraded to lenny I am not able to boot the new kernel (2.6.26-1-686), however it still works using the old etch kernel (2.6.22-2-k7 from backports.org). About my system: There is an encrypted root partition on /dev/hda1 and a separate /boot partition on /dev/hda4. When booting the new kernel I get "Waiting for root file system" and a while later I am being dropped to a busy box shell. I have seen, the docs suggest that the problem might be a /dev/hda - / dev/sda confusion with a new kernel, however before the boot hangs there is a bunch of messages that addresses the hard disk as "/dev/ hda". Furthermore I followed the docs' suggestion to add label descriptors to the hard disk partitions to avoid these confusions. Now my /etc/crypttab looks like:
root LABEL=CRYPTOROOT root.key luks,keyscript=/root/crypto-usb-key.sh swap /dev/hda3 /dev/random swap And /etc/fstab: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/mapper/swap none swap sw 0 0 LABEL=CRYPTOROOT / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 LABEL=BOOT /boot ext3 defaults 0 1 The entries in grub/menu.lst are: title Debian Etch old kernel root (hd0,3) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-2-k7 root=LABEL=CRYPTOROOT ro vga=773 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.22-2-k7 savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686 root (hd0,3) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=LABEL=CRYPTOROOT ro vga=773 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 savedefault where the first entry (old kernel) boots fine. Both initrd.img files were created after the upgrade. I suspect that there is some module missing from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules that is required for the new kernel, but I have no idea which it might be. I tried adding some modules by try-and-error, but to no avail. Currently it looks like: # Syntax: module_name [args ...] loop ide-disk # for usb drive: ehci_hcd sd_mod usb_storage fat vfat nls_cp850 nls_cp437 nls_iso8859_1 nls_iso8859_15 nls_utf8 # crypto: dm_mod dm_crypt cbc aes-i586 #sha256 #blkcipher # renamed in the new kernel: sha256_generic crypto_blkcipher aes_generic Any ideas?
