Hi I've used the Debian installer (Sarge) for installing a system onto an SSD, using this layout:
/dev/sda1 /boot /dev/sda5 luks, -> sda5_crypt with "/" /dev/sda6 /usr After the installation finished, I realized that I should have aligned the partition boundaries. So I booted into GRML, backed up the file systems with tar, created a new partition table + filesystems manually, mounted, extracted the tars. Mounted in correct nesting plus /proc /sys /dev and chroot'ed inside, "grub-setup -d /boot/grub /dev/sda". Now, the difficult part is figuring out all the locations where the system is using UUIDs (d'oh!), and maybe other information that has changed by me recreating the partition table. I've updated /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab and ran update-grub from within the chroot (while running GRML). Now grub doesn't complain/warn anymore about not finding devices, but after the kernel loads, the boot process still says: [ .... ] ... BAR 6: no parent found for of device [0xfffe000-0xffffffff] Loading, please wait... cryptsetup: lvm is not available cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available then it hangs indefinitely (minutes, giving up), but hitting ctl-c is giving me the initrd shell. I can "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 sda5_crypt" and ctl-d to continue the boot (actually it then tries to open sda5 again, failing, then continues). But I don't see why it hangs above, and whether the messages before the hang are relevant. Any ideas?
