Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.118_all Severity: Critical Hi, I lastly did a clean install of debian amd64. I used for this a SID mini.iso from here http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ I chose during installation luks partitioning (not lvm), and separated /boot (on an usb pendrive) partition from /root partition (on another drive with the other one). Then, at the end of the installation, I restarted my system and was unable to get it working. Indeed, debian was unable to find some partitions. After a lot of time, I find out why things gone wrong. There where mismatch between /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab. UUID and devices combination in crypttab file were different from /etc/fstab. For exemple, it was written an UUID for a particular /dev on crypttab that was different from /etc/fstab (like /dev/mapper/sda6_crypt for /usr in crypttab, but listed as sda7_crypt in fstab, the /var partition) So, from initramfs, I manually mounted all drives, and then did "CTRL + D". The system finally boot completely. I corrected the crypttab and the fstab files, and chose the «file option» for unlocking each partition (/usr; /var; swap; /tmp; /home But I still get some problems. My system does not start automatically after I enter the password for unlocking the root partition. I have to unlock manually /usr (from initramfs ), and then do "CTRL + D". Finally, I discovered that initramfs-tools_0.118_all.deb is buggy. Indeed, when I replaced it for initramfs-tools_0.116_all.deb, my system boot perfectly. Here what I get before booting manually : Decompressiong Linux… Parsing ELF… done. Booting the kernel. Loading, please wait... Please unlock disk sda1_crypt: cryptsetup: sda1_crypt set up successfully fsck from util-linux 2.25.2 /dev/mapper/sda1_crypt: clean, 7869/170688 files, 89041/682752 blocks Gave up waiting for /usr device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt does not exist.
