Bug 386235 – sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-{3.0.6,3.1.5,3.4.20,?} - Will not boot encrypted /

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description brent 2011-10-08 08:28:43 UTC]

relevant packages (let me know if you want USE flags):

sys-boot/grub-0.97-r10
sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.18
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.6
sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.2.0-r1
sys-fs/mdadm-3.1.5
sys-fs/udev-171-r2

entry from menu.lst:
title=Gentoo Linux (3.0.6-gentoo)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/kernel-praetorian-kernel-x86_64-3.0.6-gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 crypt_root=/dev/md1 real_root=/dev/mapper/root udev video=radeon:mtrr:3,ywrap,1900x1200-24@75 vga=791 splash=verbose,theme:gentoo console=tty1 domdraid domdadm rootfstype=ext4
initrd /boot/initramfs-praetorian-kernel-x86_64-3.0.6-gentoo


when attempting to boot my LUKS-encrypted mdadm RAID-1 from grub legacy, it does not recognize the filesystem type.

please note that this occurs only with gentoo-sources-3.x; I am able to boot successfully with gentoo-sources-2.6.38.

please let me know if you require any further information.

[Comment 4 Alexander E. Patrakov 2011-10-09 11:25:15 UTC]

Looks more like genkernel or bootloader bug to me, as your screenshot doesn't show any message from genkernel. But I am not 100% sure.

Could you please confirm that you have correctly specified the initramfs created by genkernel in your menu.lst file?

Could you please also try (for the purpose of isolating the fault) using dracut (which is distro-neutral) instead of gentoo-specific "genkernel" initramfs generator?

[Comment 5 Robin Johnson 2011-10-09 20:30:24 UTC]

Can you please attach your kernel .config?

[Comment 7 brent 2011-10-10 07:19:10 UTC]

it's currently 0314EST; i'll give dracut a report tomorrow and let you know the results. thanks. :)

[Comment 8 brent 2011-12-26 13:14:43 UTC]

whoops. i totally forgot about this.

here's some updates:

1.) the same issue occurs when using dracut.
2.) however, i can definitely successfully mount the volumes in the rescue shell of dracut via cryptsetup, and it correctly sets up my md0/1.

i'm going to include more updated configs.

below is my make.conf in case anything changed since.

tada. this is dracut again; still giving the same error as genkernel.

genkernel initrd for 2.6.38-r5 with 3.1.5 kernel

i didn't even expect a 2.6.x initramdisk to even work with 3.x, but perhaps this is a clue that this may be a kernel issue, and not an initramdisk issue?

interestingly, as i stated in regards to dracut i could actually mount the encrypted software-raided / in the rescue shell. so perhaps this is instead the system recognizing it needs to check for an encrypted volume AFTER the mdadm volume instead of, i presume, vice versa.

[Comment 17 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) 2013-04-12 16:04:05 UTC]

Does this still happen on a recent kernel?
