Description Morgan Leijström 2020-11-25 00:13:18 CET
With encrypted persistence, boot fail. (the first boot)
Message suggest to add rd.debug to kernel line for more debug.
Doing that, kernel say illegal file name.

Version-Release number of selected component:
Mageia Live 8b1 xfce 32 bit iso
-i have not checked the other Mageia 8 isos

I can't reproduce that. Are you sure you didn't mistype?

CC: (none) => mageia

__With nonencrypted persistence__

It only get to black screen with blinking cursor top left and square mouse pointer.  Ctrl-Alt-F12 display journal, and i can see it gets in some timeout-retry loop.

Picture attached.

__With encrypted persistence__

After user entered encryption key, the bubbling cauldron is shown for a couple minutes, then fail, and tip about rd.debug.

Both picture and rdsosreport.txt attached.

Then picture where i have entered rd.debug to boot line, and a picture of the message "invalid file name". It also say press any key to continue, but in a few seconds it proceeds regardless, and kernel panic.

? why was sysadmin-bugs CC ?

CC: sysadmin-bugs => (none)

Comment 5 Martin Whitaker 2020-11-25 16:20:09 CET
The failure with encrypted persistence is just bug 27638.

No pictures attached yet...

I believe sysadmin-bugs is automatically added to CC when you create a bug with component "Release (media or process)".

OK. But no way to get out of it, right? (no old kernel)

Invalid file name rd.debug
Comment 11 Martin Whitaker 2020-11-25 17:45:38 CET
You need to add rd.debug to the line starting with "$linux" (the kernel command line), not the one starting "$initrd".
Comment 12 Morgan Leijström 2020-11-25 20:30:28 CET
doh! I saw it like one long broken line...

Now i feel stupid.

Well, that is healthy sometimes.

Thank you for the quick replies!
