Package: Installer of Debian 4.0r0 (I mean initramfs-tools)
Version: Debian 4.0r0 network-CD or DVD1 "etch"
Hello,
when I setup following disc strukture
/ /var /usr /home /misc
,----+--------+-------+-------+--------+--------+----, -----
| | ROOT | VAR | USR | HOME | MISC | | ^
| `--------+-------+-------+--------+--------' | |
| | LVM
| LVM VG "SYSTEM" | |
| | |
+----------------------------------------------------+ -----
| |
| hda5_crypt | crypt
| |
+----------------------------------------------------+ -----
| |
| /dev/hda5 | phy. dev
| |
`----------------------------------------------------' -----
all works fine. The system asks after reboot for the
passphrase for hda5_crypt and all works. :-)
(The boot- an swap-partition (crypted with random key)
are not displayed in this figure.)
But when I setup following
/ /var /usr /home /misc
,----+--------+-------+-------+--------+--------+----, -----
| | ROOT | VAR | USR | HOME | MISC | | ^
| `--------+-------+-------+--------+--------' | |
| | LVM
| LVM VG "SYSTEM" | |
| | |
+------------------------+--+------------------------+ -----
| | | |
| hda5_crypt | | hda6_crypt | crypt
| | | |
+------------------------+ +------------------------+ -----
| | | |
| /dev/hda5 | | /dev/hda6 | phy. dev
| | | |
`------------------------' `------------------------' -----
the installer setups the system correctly. But when the
system reboots the system asks the passphrase only for
hda5_crypt and then the system can not setup the LVM
Volume Group "SYSTEM". The system prints out the message
"Waiting for root file system..
and goes after a timeout in a shell with the prompt
"(initramfs)".
I test it with the netinstall-CD and also with the DVDs.
Regards
Andreas Gerlich

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
