Oh this was an installer bug I think. Jesse you saw this too, right? Do you remember the details? Note there was a bug in the way the size of the password was getting sent over the wire (between client and daemon) that big endian machines would have seen. That could have caused this, too. I did see this, but I don't recall what I eventually did to make it work. I /think/ I reverted back to the alpha and started from there, but I'm not sure. So I talked to someone on the installer team about this a bit and he helpfully pointed out that comment 0 mentions doing a yum upgrade, not an anaconda upgrade. This has nothing to do with the installer then. If the old initrd works, that suggests the disk is still encrypted with the right password, so I think we can safely say this issue is distinct from the issue Jesse was seeing. It may be the aforemented endianess issue I alluded to earlier. Michael, would you mind trying the latest plymouth in rawhide and reporting whether the problem is still present? The version I am using is the most current out of Rawhide. I will try a new version as soon as it is available. Sorry for the confusion, I don't think we've had a rawhide since we were shut down. I just tried plymouth-0.6.0-0.2008.08.27.2.fc10.ppc and there is no change to my original report. Okay, the latest update seems to have fixed this. I enter my password and my system continues to boot. No change to plymouth's version since comment #6. Maybe the latest kernel/initrd update did it? yea, unfortunately plymouth daemon updates don't take affect until the next kernel update (unless you run /sbin/mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) to force an update) |
