After upgrade to squeeze OS will not accept passphrase to unlock disk
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
As part of an installation on a desktop of squeeze I set up the swap,
/temp and /home partitions to be encrypted. The first two have random
passphrases; the /home partition however has a passphrase I created as
part of the installation.
On boot in due course the following appears:
Unlocking the disk \
/dev/disk/by-uuid/37694192-a3eb-48de-a7d0-834f18d50292 (BDS-home_crypt)
Enter passphrase:
At the beginning I was able to enter the passphrase and so the boot
continued. After a few weeks, during which time I was tweaking the
software to make the computer useable, through no conscious intervention
on my part the computer stopped accepting the passphrase. I would enter
it and then hit the "Enter" key. At this point the computer would freeze.
Is there a way to get the computer to accept the passphrase, or do I
have to do a completely new installation?
Thanks in advance for all help provided.
