Crypto disk was not opened after Karmic kernel upgrade 2.6.31-16 -> 2.6.31-17

[Jussi Eronen]

Binary package hint: linux-headers-2.6.31-17

I updated the kernel of my Karmic installation today to 2.6.31-17, which resulted in a failure to decrypt crypted hard drive partitions. Entering the correct passphrase just prompted the error message "Bad passphrase or cryptsetup options?".

The crypto setup is a standard alternate install LUKS whole disk encryption. After booting the system from an installation cd and changing the default entry in /root/grub/grub.cnf back to kernel version 2.6.31-16, cryptsetup was able to decrypt the partitions again.

Still the same effect after upgrading to -19. Downgrading to -16 helped again.

Hi Jussi,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 510745

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Upgraded the system to 10.04. The bug is still present. I don't think there will be anything useful in the kernel logs as the bug occurs before the root filesystem is decrypted.

[Jussi Eronen (exec-iki)]

Still present on fully patched Ubuntu 10.04
