Description of problem: On a system with encrypted "/"- and "/home"-partitions the kernel hangs at boot. The previous kernel 4.9.35-1 did ask once for a password to unlock the LUKS encrypted partitions and then tried to unlock all encrypted partitions with this password. This allowed you to e.g. install "/" on a SSD and "/home" on a HDD and have both encrypted with the same password. The new kernel seems to use the entered password only for the first partition to unlock and then hangs when trying to unlock the second partition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.9.40-1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a system with separate, encrypted partitions for "/" and "/home". 2. Try to boot. Workaround: You can edit the kernel command line in grub and erase the "quiet" and "splash" keywords, so that the kernel boots in text mode. This gives you access to the second LUKS "unlock" password request. This way you can enter the password also for the second partition and the system boots up.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life. Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL). Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
