Summary | 0001963: Encrypted LVM fails to boot, volumegroup is searched before encrypted volume mapped | ||||
Description | I have installed kali 1.0.9 (and kali-daily, same results) on a HP Stream 11. I used the live installer as booting in text/gtk installer mode doesn't detect my mmc ssd nor external wireless card (internal wasn't detected in any mode). I think this is a different issue entirely. After installing the booting fails with a message regarding the kali-root lvm volume group can't be found. I got dropped to the initramfs prompt. I have seen the following issue: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=443 which might be related. I was however unable to install kali through the dedicated installer boot-mode as this would not detect my mmc ssd nor wireless card, as stated above. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce |
| ||||
Additional Information | Workaround: manually map the luks container while in the initramfs prompt with: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/<partition> <partition>_crypt The boot should now continue normally. As a sort of permanent workaround I have this: root@kali:~# cat /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptfix
So creating that file, with those contents, and then running 'update-initramfs' should fix booting (in a very hacky way I suppose) | ||||
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing,and also give information about your setup? |
