[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#554506: cryptsetup: unable to find root volume

[Matúš Peniaško]

Hi,

Running squeeze, encountered this bug after an upgrade of udev from
157-1 to 158-1 was done and the initrd was rebuilt.

The root device to unlock is defined by '/dev/disks/by-uuid/<uuid
here>' in crypttab.

After failing to unlock the root device busybox drops in and I was
able to check nodes under /dev; there were no hdx nor sdx files
created here, however dmesg shows they were found (I'm not in front of
affected PC now, cannot verify whether they were 'sda' or 'hda').

Another thing noticed (I was able to boot a different kernel w/ older
initrd) - following the udev update the nodes of my PATA HDD (root
device) were shown as 'sda' instead of being 'hda' w/ the earlier
version of udev.

I can provide you w/ more details once I get to that PC.

Looking forward to see this bug resolved.
Hope this helps,


Matus
