Description Dave Hodgins 2012-09-04 00:22:07 CEST

When trying to create an encrypted file system, the cryptsetup command
is failing.

Comparing the list of kernel modules loaded in the installer, with those
in a Mageia 2 install, where it's working, I suspect diskdrake now has
to modprobe aesni_intel, and the installer has to be modified to include
the aesni-intel.ko.xz kernel module.

I'll attach the report.bug file.

Fixed in git

Though you have an AMD cpu and it shouldn't been needed on your machine.
And aes-generic would work anyway.
In your case, the cryptsetup command took too long and was killed by timeout

Also next time compress the file before uploading

That doesn't make sense on this hardware.

# time cryptsetup --cipher=aes-xts-benbi --key-size=512 luksFormat --batch-mode /dev/sda10 /tmp/.dmcrypt_key

real    0m3.263s
user    0m3.210s
sys     0m0.031s

/dev/sda10 is a 26.32 GB partition on an ssd drive.

Creating the encrypted file system worked with the latest dual-cd, although
rebooting into the installed system failed. Bug 7382 reported.

I'll retest the i586 dvd before closing this bug.

Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2012-09-07 02:02:47 CEST

Closing this bug, as an install done using the latest i586 dvd
successfully created an encrypted root filesystem, and booted
into it.

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
