Hi

Need help to build initramfs with sshd + luks support to remote mount root.
Anyone has this setup up and running?

/thanks

Hi all

I fixed it.

followed http://whitehathouston.com/documentation/gentoo/initramfs_howto.htm to get basic initramfs upp and running

then emerged:
Code:
 net-misc/dropbear-2012.55  USE="pam zlib -bsdpty -minimal -multicall -savedconfig -static -syslog"

note '-static' static & pam together wont compile and i couldn't get password authentication of dropbear work without pam.

cp /usr/sbin/dropbear /usr/src/initramfs/usr/sbin

copied som libs + NIC module from /lib to /usr/src/initramfs/lib:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 142K Jun  4 20:55 ld-2.15.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 Jun  6 08:41 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> ld-2.15.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.7M Jun  4 20:55 libc-2.15.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   12 Jun  6 08:41 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.15.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  35K Jun  6 08:19 libcrypt.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  87K Jun  6 08:13 libnsl.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  51K Jun  4 20:55 libnss_files-2.15.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 Jun  6 08:41 libnss_files.so.2 -> libnss_files-2.15.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  11K Jun  6 08:14 libutil.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   13 Jun  6 08:41 libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  87K Jun  4 20:55 libz.so.1.2.7
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jun  4 20:55 modules


setup in /usr/src/initramfs/etc:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun  5 17:19 dropbear
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   13 Jun  5 19:55 group
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1K Jun  4 20:55 ld.so.cache
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  224 Jun  4 20:55 ld.so.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   41 Jun  6 07:57 nsswitch.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   29 Jun  6 09:21 passwd
-rw-r----- 1 root root  116 Jun  5 19:56 shadow

./dropbear:
total 8.0K
-rw------- 1 root root 457 Jun  5 17:19 dropbear_dss_host_key
-rw------- 1 root root 806 Jun  5 17:19 dropbear_rsa_host_key


removed everything from passwd shadow group except root.
change shell in passwd to /bin/sh

cat nsswitch.conf:
Code:

passwd: files
shadow: files
group: files


populate /usr/src/initramfs/bin/
Code:

for i in $(busybox --list)
do
 ln -s busybox /usr/src/initramfs/bin/$i
done


my initscript /usr/src/initramfs/init:
Code:

#!/bin/busybox sh

# temporarily mount proc and sys
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
mount -t devtmpfs none /dev
mkdir /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

modprobe r8168
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.5

/usr/sbin/dropbear -FEjkm

mount -o ro /dev/mapper/root /mnt/root || /bin/reboot -f

#---clean up---
rmmod r8168
umount /dev/pts
umount /proc
umount /sys
umount /dev
exec switch_root /mnt/root /sbin/init


then boot, ssh to dropbear and run:
Code:
/sbin/cryptsetup -T 5 luksOpen /dev/sda2 root
/bin/killall dropbear


if cryptsetup mount is OK system will boot otherwise system will reboot and i can start over again.

Hope this will be helpfull to someone.
