LUKS partition not decrypted during boot
by nebulein from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EBKY)
Hi,
I am having a rather strange problem.
I just setup a laptop with slackware-current and wanted tu use an encrypted /home partition using LUKS/crypttab. I followed the instuctions in README_CRYPT.TXT. I have done this setup on multiple machines so far without any problems and it works.
The partition works, is properly decrypted and I can mount and use it normally. But Slackware does not prompt me for the password during boot.
rc.S is definitely invoked during boot, but it seems to ignore /etc/crypttab.
If I run rc.S after boot, it prompts me for the password. So rc.S is not broken.
Any ideas? Running Slackware-current from Feb 16 using the generic kernel 5.10.16. UEFI-Boot with elilo.
Thank you for your help!
