 |
|
Hi,
recently my SSD failed and I have moved my system to USB attached HDD, but now system fails to boot with what I consider to be correct boot parameters.
Kernel cmdline:
| Code: | | BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-6.1.57-gentoo-x86_64 root=UUID=[edited out] ro rootflags=subvol=root crypt_root=/dev/sdb3 root_trim=yes memtest=1 |
this results in initramfs complaining that it cannot find crypt-root, but when I type /dev/sdb3 and press enter system continues to boot and boots successfully. Can this be caused by some race condition with mass storage modules loading?
| Code: |
dmsetup deps
crypt-hdd: 1 dependencies : (8, 3)
crypt-sda4: 1 dependencies : (8, 4)
root: 1 dependencies : (8, 19)
ls -l /dev/sdb3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 19 Nov 12 22:44 /dev/sdb3

| Yes. USB is well known to be too slow to be reliably discovered by the time the kernel is ready to mount root. Move the hard disk to a non-USB connection, or instruct the initramfs to either retry a few times or to wait before the first attempt. |
