Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-23 12:06:25 UTC 
Newly stabled sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.5 supports LUKS (and, as I heard shall replace sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks), but it installs the static cryptsetup binary into /sbin, not /bin.

Genkernel does not handle this change of setup:
* LUKS support requires static cryptsetup at /bin/cryptsetup
* Not including LUKS supprot.

Test with genkernel-3.4.9_pre6 and genkernel-3.4.9_pre9-r1.

And this is part of the reason that we're trying to move away from using files from the host system to include in the initramfs.

I've applied a fix in SVN. It now looks for both /bin/cryptsetup and /sbin/cryptsetup. The error message now says:

LUKS support requires static cryptsetup at /bin/cryptsetup or /sbin/cryptsetup
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-28 22:32:09 UTC 
This should be done in 3.4.9_pre10 which will be hitting the tree soon.
