Bug#508157: debian-installer: Rescue mode: cryptsetup doesn't accept password (verified correct, muliple x)
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Using the lenny-rc1 xfce-cd1 image I attempted to use rescue mode to operate on an encrypted lvm which is detected and mounts fine with the regular boot system. It was created using a previous version of lenny's installer (but I don't remember which one).
I suspect the problem may be related to the fact that when I initially created the filesystem there was a usb key drive in the system. OTOH I have tried rescue mode both with and without the key to no avail.
It may matter that I have modified crypttab to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/the-uuid-of-the-luks-partition and that the name of the crypt volume has been changed from the default.
I have tried with luksOpen /dev/disk/by-uuid/uuid-of-luks crypt_name and get a message which states that cryptsetup failed because there was no key with the entered password, however I have entered the password multiple times.
Could it matter that it is a logitech internet keyboard and not a plain vanilla keyboard?
Please let me know what other information I can send that would help.
Regards,
Daniel
