Installing Debian 9 (Stretch) RC4 with full disk encryption.

#1 Post by toopho »

I have a ThinkPad T500 with libreboot and I am trying to install Debian 9 (Stretch) Release candidate 4 following all the instructions in the Libreboot documentation to install Debian encrypted with full disk encryption. After the installation, the system boots, but it doesn't get to the desktop environment.

I go to boot the system and with “grub> cryptomount -a” I enter the passphrase and after more than one minute (very long time and I don't know why) it is accepted, then I change the third line in the documentation from

<<grub> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/matrix-rootvolcryptdevice=/dev/mapper/matrix-rootvol:root>>

to

<<grub> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/matrix rootvolcryptdevice=/dev/mapper/matrix-rootvol:root>>

that is, I remove the first hyphen that appears in that line of the documentation. And after booting the system and some output, it gets to the following lines:

Code: Select all

(I enter the passphase there and it continues as follows)

Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay (did the system wait long enough?)
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/matrix does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
(and then BusyBox comes up)
