Binary package hint: plymouth
plymouth totally breaks systems with root on crypted LVM. After entering the correct password, the system just reports a system panic.
steps to reproduce (e.g., in kvm):
- install lucid from current daily alternate installer
- used guided partitioning with root on crypted LVM
- boot system
- apt-get install plymouth
- reboot
Result:
- blank screen, no visible password prompt (this is [probably] bug #496765)
- after entering correct password, the kernel panics (probably because it cannot find the root filesystem)
Expected Result:
- normal system startup.
Used versions:
Today's daily, alternate installer. |
Typing the password very fast causes boot failures.
steps to reproduce (e.g., in kvm):
- install lucid from current daily alternate installer
- used guided partitioning with root on crypted LVM
- choose an easy and fast to type password, like 'ubuntu'
- boot system
- type the password very fast
Result:
- after entering correct password fast, the kernel panics with a message similar to this:
cryptsetup: lvm device name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/2010ede2-fff3-4f15-bc79-1d397a414ac6) does not begin with /dev/mapper/
