I've just installed debian (on a dual-boot with an existing windows 10). I installed with a /boot partition and an encrypted volume with two partitions, one for / and one for swap. When I boot grub comes up and then the prompt from dm_crypt to unlock the disk. After entering the password I get the message 'unknown fstype, bad password or options'. Any suggestions? (The password is correct - if I enter a wrong password I get a different message, saying no key available with this passphrase.)
EDIT: Actually the message about 'no key available with this passphrase' sometimes comes up and sometimes doesn't - even with a passphrase that's definitely wrong.

Encrypted installation failure
Re: Encrypted installation failure
I just tried a reinstall - exactly the same result.
Is this a bug? In which package?

Re: Encrypted installation failure
How did you install Debian? What iso file did you use?
There is only one Debian | Do not break Debian | Stability and Debian | Backports

Re: Encrypted installation failure
I used the 9.1 live xfce iso (on usb), with restricted firmware on a separate usb. The first time I used the graphical install, the second the text-based one.
Is the problem to do with encrypting both in one container?

Re: Encrypted installation failure
Well, after another failed attempt, I've got it working. Instead of putting two partitions directly in the luks container, I put an lvm group in luks, then created the logical volumes for / and swap in that. Now to test if hibernation works (that's the only reason I want swap).
