How to make (early) cryptdisks ask for a password on Ubuntu

xnyle · February 2, 2018

On Xenial A64 I added an entry for a LUKS partition into /etc/crypttab (after installing cryptsetup which added its stuff to uBoot).

But at boot I don't get asked for a password

If I add a timeout in crypttab, boot continues with a rescue console, if not it hangs forever.

Other than that I have no clue what's going on, journalctl only shows "systemd-cryptsetup failed, status 1" obviously because no password was given.

I also added dm-crypt to modules and called update-initramfs, but that didn't change anything

Probably this still unfixed bug.

That's why I like Ubuntu so much, main point is, it looks nice...
