Doc Text: |
Cause: plymouth doesn't listen to the keyboard if init=/bin/sh is on the kernel command line
Consequence: the root partition can not be decrypted because plymouth won't listen for the password
Fix: plymouth should listen to the keyboard until the root filesystem is mounted
Result: users will be able to decrypt the root partition when using init=/bin/sh on the kernel commandline
