Etch with encrypted lvm, remapping of sata hd names, problem
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I disconnected all my drives during a fresh install of Debian Etch with
encrypted LVM on a new sata hd. Everything work fine if I don't add my
old sata hd.
If I add the old sata hd, Etch refuses to accept my passphrase during
boot to mount my / partition. When I booted Knoppix to diagnose the
system, I noticed that the names of the hd's changed.
Etch was during install sda1 and now it is sdb1. I tried to add "map
(hd0) (hd1)" and "map (hd1) (hd0)" in grub, but it still wont work.
Any ideas/help?
The old sata hd has winxp.
If I connect the old sata hd on sata cable 1, winxp boots.
If I connect the old sata hd on sata cable 2, Etch boots.
My bios doesn't let me choose a particular sata drive to boot from. It
only lets me choose "SCSI", "CDROM" or the pata drives.
So my bios thinks Etch is the first sata hd in my system and chooses the
Etch hd to boot from.
But after my bios let's control over to Etch, Etch thinks of itself as
being sdb1. Strange, huh?
