Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-lvm

Trying today's Jaunty server amd64 build, encrypted LVM fails.

I choose:
 Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM

I select my disk.

I choose "Yes" to the question, "Write changes to the disks and configure LVM."

And it just kicks me back to the "Partition Disks" screen.

Note that simple guided LVM partitioning works as expected.

Fairly straightforward to fix - we just need to cope with the dm modules being built-in. (I've reproduced the bug and that a crude workaround makes it go away; I'm just looking at something a little more sophisticated that would be suitable for upstream use.)

I'll work around the problems for dm_mod and dm_crypt. Per IRC discussion, Tim is going to avoid the crypto module problems by reverting to building these as modules rather than building them in.

partman-crypto (36ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Handle dm_mod and dm_crypt specially in crypto_load_module, to cope with
    them being built-in (LP: #314168).
