(Ludo suggested to report this as a bug, so this issue won’t get lost.) While booting, GRUB prints this error: error: file ‘/gnu/store/rz…-linux-libre-3.17.3/bzImage’ not found. which is not surprising since the store is encrypted. I’ve tried putting these lines after the “setparams” line in the GRUB config (by hitting the ‘e’ key): insmod luks cryptomount hd0,gpt3 set root=crypto0 After pressing the ‘F10’ key, I get a password prompt. And after that, a bunch of warnings about ‘/dev/mapper/main’: ext2fs_check_if_mount: Can’t check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab file while determining whether /dev/mapper/main is mounted. fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/main Possibly non-existent device? ‘fsck.ext3’ exited with code 8 on /dev/mapper/main; spawning REPL In the REPL: scheme@(guile-user)> ,use (gnu build linux-boot) scheme@(guile-user)> (boot-system) […] ERROR: In procedure mount: ERROR: In procedure mount: Device or resource busy My config is shown below: (use-modules (gnu)) (define %linux-modules '( ;; cryptsetup/LUKS "dm-crypt.ko" "aes-x86_64.ko" "crc32.ko" "pcbc.ko" "xcbc.ko" "sha256-ssse3.ko")) (operating-system (host-name "test") (timezone "Europe/Paris") (locale "en_US.UTF-8") (bootloader (grub-configuration (device "/dev/sda"))) (initrd (lambda (fs . args) (apply base-initrd fs #:extra-modules %linux-modules args))) (mapped-devices (list (mapped-device (source "/dev/sda3") (target "main") (type luks-device-mapping)))) (file-systems (cons* (file-system (device "/dev/mapper/main") (mount-point "/") (type "ext3")) (file-system (device "boot") (type 'label) (mount-point "/boot") (type "ext3")) %base-file-systems)) (users (list (user-account (name "test") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/test")))))
