 |
|
Hi! I'm new in this forum! First of all, sorry about my english, I don't speak english. I will talk as good as possible.
Let's get straight with my problem: I was trying to install gentoo encrypting my root, I have the next partition scheme
/dev/sda3 --> /boot
/dev/sda4 --> dm_crypt --> /dev/mapper/genluks
/dev/mapper/genluks --> pvcreate --> vgcreate --> /dev/mapper/gencrypt (LVM)
dev/mapper/gencrypt
|
--------> /dev/mapper/gencrypt-root --> /
--------> /dev/mapper/gencrypt-swap --> swap
The problem that I have is that when I want to start the machine I get an error, something like "can not mount device in read-only", an after that I get a beautiful kernel panic. Here is my init:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
mount -t proc none /proc
CMDLINE=`cat /proc/cmdline`
mount -t sysfs none /sys
sleep 4
#rescue function
rescata() {
echo "Shell al cante"
busybox --install -s
exec /bin/sh
}
loadkmap < /etc/kmap-es
/bin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda4 genluks || rescata()
/bin/lvm vgscan
/bin/lvm vgchange -ay gencrypt
mount -r /dev/mapper/gencrypt-root /newroot
umount /sys
umount /proc
exec /bin/busybox switch_root /newroot /sbin/init ${CMDLINE}
|
At first I thought that it was a problem calling cryptsetup, because I din't get any prompot asking for a password, so I decided to put a rescue funtion and I dindn't get any error. I don't know what is happening, so PLEASE HELP!
Here is my kernel (gentoo-hardenerd-3.4.2-r1) .config:

here is how i do it with grub version < 2
I would suggest you use genkernel. you will probably need to change some useflags to use genkernel add some statics to them but it will tell you if you need to.
you would want to do first mount /boot if you need to then
| Code: | | genkernel --luks --lvm --keymap --mdadm --install initramfs |
that will provide you with a good initramfs
then you need to edit grub.conf
here is what mine looks like
| Code: | title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz init=/linuxrc crypt_root=/dev/md127 real_root=/dev/mapper/vg-root rootfstype=ext4 dolvm domdadm keymap=dvorak
initrd /boot/initramfs |

Maybe, your naming-scheme is different on boot than it was when creating the partition-scheme, so sda refers not to the right disk.
Are the tools in your initramfs built with USE="static"?

did you copy the device node for sda4 into the initramfs structure?
| Code: |
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not set
|
I would *highly* recommend you enable devtmpfs, and either also enable the automount feature in the kernel, or, put a line into 'init' that does a devtmpfs mount. That should give you the device nodes you need in order to luksOpen. You could simply be missing device nodes. From there, vgscan should pick up your luks volume
genkernel or other automated tools should not necessarily be necessary.
You seem to have most of the bits covered off, but I put this together which might be worth a look (if this link is broken, my apologies, i have a dying hard disk!)

olek: Thank you for answering, but the naming scheme is the same, I sure of that an yes y used the "static" flag
djdunn: That would maybe work but I prefer to do everything by my own, without using genkernel, and I would like to know what I've done bad. One question, is mdamd necessary, whitout using RAID? I think that:
| Code: |
genkernel --luks --lvm --keymap --install initramfs
|
will just work. Thank you too for answering all the ways 
cach0rr0: Yes, I copied. I set CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y, and I recompiled my kernel (ohh I have just remembered that I dind't enable CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS, ups  hahaha ). I took a look at your guide (which I recommend to everyone who was trying to do the same as me) and I think I'm doing everything fine, but it still not working. I don't know what is happening, I also think that the problem is related with the device nodes, because it's obvious that cryptsetup can't find /dev/sda4. I will try to make a fresh installetion, because I must have missed something. I will tell you
And thank you everyone.

after you made this change to the kernel, did you edit 'init' and add a 'mount' line to mount the devtmpfs? After doing this you will have needed to recreate your initramfs (to include the new/modified init), copied the new initramfs to /boot, copied the new kernel to /boot, and so forth
the line in init would be before you luksOpen or anything
| Code: |
mount -t devtmpfs none /dev
|
so your modified init would be something like:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
mount -t proc none /proc
CMDLINE=`cat /proc/cmdline`
mount -t sysfs none /sys
mount -t devtmpfs none /dev
sleep 4
#rescue function
rescata() {
echo "Shell al cante"
busybox --install -s
exec /bin/sh
}
loadkmap < /etc/kmap-es
/bin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda4 genluks || rescata()
/bin/lvm vgscan
/bin/lvm vgchange -ay gencrypt
mount -r /dev/mapper/gencrypt-root /newroot
umount /sys
umount /proc
exec /bin/busybox switch_root /newroot /sbin/init ${CMDLINE}
|
note line 6 above.
