Bug#419571: Buggy installer (etch) when using more than 1 crypted phy. devices with LVM
Package: 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.
