On my first tries with the Debian installer, I am struggling with the
limited resources for installing to encrypted disks. I am using the
same technique I have used with Ubuntu, but failing at the last step:
I create my luks disk(s) before-hand, then run the installer. I find
I have to anna-install cryptsetup-udeb, as there is no such choice in
"Load Installer Modules". Dropping to a shell, opening the disk, and
re-detecting hard drives allows me to carry out the installation (as
long as there's a filesystem in the mapped device), but on reboot I'm
at an initramfs without cryptsetup. So I use a debian-live to pivot
into the system to create a crypttab. I find I also have to install
cryptsetup. Then I run update-initramfs. Here is where I'm stuck.
The new initramfs still does not include cryptsetup. Why is it not
recognizing the crypttab?
I have tried other approaches eg, during installation doing adding an
apt-install cryptsetup (after "Select and Install Software") and then
editing crypttab, but to no avail.
/D
PS. I pivot like this, in case I'm missing something:
mount root & boot devices in /target
for f in dev dev/pts sys proc; do sudo mount -B /$f /target/$f; done
chroot /target
Hello,
In the file “/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook”, there is a line
“CRYPTSETUP” which is commented and/or has the default value “n”. If
this is the case, replace the line with “CRYPTSETUP=y”. So, the next use
of the command “update-initramfs” should solve your problem if I
understood it correctly.
