Bug#939585: installation-reports: Unable to boot from LVM on encrypted volume - missing cryptsetup in initramfs
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Installation using manually partioned disk by installer containing LVM on encrypted volume
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
Manually partition drive by installer:
- primary boot partition
- encrypted volume
- LVM on encrypted volume containing root and swap partitions
Continue installation to the end.
An alternative would be trying to encrypt the whole disk. This fails in a more complete way.
This used to work fine with buster as testing release already.
* What was the outcome of this action?
After reboot and some error messages about missing LVM volumes you will be dropped to an initramfs shell.
Obviously cryptsetup is missing although installed by d-i with no errors and there are no errors reported by d-i during generaton of initramfs.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A working installation where cryptsetup with or without plymouth asking for passphrase and setting up encrypted volumes.
Cause:
cryptsetup-initramfs is not installed. I was able to fix the situation by chroot and installing it in the end of the installation.
