Bug 170753 – LUKS + RAID1: crypt_root does not create md# devices

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Nicolas Schlumberger 2007-03-13 16:55:36 UTC]

Booting a RAID1 system with LUKS encrypted ROOT.
Genkernel complains about missing device (/dev/md3 in my case)
adding root= or real_root= to grub.conf helped creating the missing devices, but would not boot set root to /dev/mapper/root.
After reading through genkernel's initrd.scripts and linuxrc, I found a missing line in initrd.scripts

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Not cleanly booting system.
Additional typing is need to get it running (setting root device)

Expected Results:  
clean boot, with interrupt for luks passphrase.

Created attachment 113186 [details, diff]
initrd.script-patch, created with diff -upN

The patch, as announced.

BTW. I've been running genkernel-3.4.6, no guarantee on later versions

OK.  I've added this to SVN and it will show up in the next genkernel release.

Thanks a lot

I already started to fear that my report was incomplete, or too unimportant.

Nah, we had taken a break after 2007.0's release, and then I got a new job and moved across the country.  I'm just now returning and starting to churn through the 1000+ bugs in my Inbox...

Please test genkernel 3.4.9_prer1 or better.  This should be fixed now.
