I have created a luks partition I have installed gentoo on. When initrd boots I get prompted for system password, everything is fine up to here, then udev starts and when it tries to e2fsck it cannot find /dev/mapper/root. I can enter my root password anyway (as usual if a problem occurs) -> if I #ls /dev/mapper -l i will get total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 27 18:57 control -> ../device-mapper but /proc/mounts shows rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/mapper/root / ext2 ro 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0 /dev/sda8 /mnt ext2 rw 0 0 (I have mountes sda8 by hand to save these outputs) It seems as if the /dev/ gets overwritten somehow when initrd ends Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install on luks partition 2.genkernel --luks --no-initrdmodules 3.boot Actual Results: e2fsck fails, /dev/mapper/root is not existent Expected Results: e2fsck should finish, system should keep booting
What version of genkernel are you using?

That's not what he asked. We need to know which version of *genkernel*, not the kernel version.

Please try with _pre12.
Exactly the same issue. For quicker solution, I can prepare a qemu img for download and a short description if it helps you
What does /dev/mapper/* look like on your running system?
(In reply to comment #7) > What does /dev/mapper/* look like on your running system? > Well, it simply isnt there. I have been playing with this when I had time. The bug can be closed. It was my mistake. I forgot to install cryptsetup and device mapper on the encrypted partition. SORRY SORRY SORRY
