 Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2015 8:41 pm Post subject: LUKS on LVM and The Handbook |
 |
|
Coming from a Mac, I recently decided to move back to Linux. Not really digging the Ubuntu scene, not really liking CentOS and Fedora and disliking the way Arch updates works, I decided to give Gentoo a try.
I've successfully set up a system om a laptop following the handbook. Now I'd like to reinstall on a encrypted system.
Couldn't really find any up to date guides on doing a Full Disk Encryption, so I had to wing it. It went mostly okay, (LVM and LUKS/DM-Crypt ain't that hard) but my real problems started when I rebooted and I couldn't boot (Since my initramfs couldn't unlock my encrypted drive).
In what way to I need to deviate from the handbook to accomplice my goal?
* I build the kernel manually.
* I generate the initramfs using "genkernel --lvm --luks --install initramfs"
* I install grub2 using the 2 commands from the handbook
* I edit the fstab to point /dev/mapper/cryptroot to /
Just can't get it to work properly.

manual kernel build? maybe something missing from your kernel config?
fstab works better with UUID |

| What messages are printed when it fails to boot? Is it not asking you for a password or is it unable to use the password you provided? |

I don't remember the error message from the first boot, but yesterday it refused to boot as it the root mountpoint wasn't correct (Couldn't find /dev/mapper/cryptroot).
It's a manual kernel build, yes - From the guides I found around the net for LVM and LUKS, I don't think I forgot to include anything in the kernel.
I'll have a look at that guide tonight when I get back from work - It would be awesome if it was a part of the handbook. I can't ever imagine installing anything that isn't full disk encrypted in these times. |

Confusion about what root is supposed to be? It can only have one /dev/mapper/ name for root.

Ah yes, I used the one at one install and the other at another install - Changed the original post to cryptroot  |
