Bug#489544: installation-reports
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
