Encrypted installation does not boot

Hi again!

I am still following this guide to create an encrypted omv nas. Everything in Step 1.2 seems to be fine (as far as I understood, I didn't need the debian image because aes-xts-plain64 is already available in OMV 1.9) until the last step. After reboot I can't enter my passphrase and thus can't access my system.

I get the following output:

Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 wird geladen?
Initale Ramdisk wird geladen?
[Some CPU Firmware Bug]
Loding, please wait...
mdadm: No arrays foind in config file or automatically
   Volume group "openmediavault" not found
   Skipping volume group now
Unable to find LVM volume openmediavault/root
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay=(did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root=(did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/openmediavault-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Tried two times, but its still not working...

• Can anyone help and explain which steps are failing?
• update-initramfs –u shows some infos about not write an array. Problem?
• Do I need to edit another file near the end of step 1.2 (like /etc/fstab)?
• I increased the "hash rounds" from 5000 ms to 10000 ms. Is it taking to long / Do I need increase rootdelay? (How?)
• Is it possible to manually recover (so that I don't have to reinstall)?
  

Greetings

Took me longer this time to figure everything out

Originally it was just the ssd not being ready yet! Solution was to open the encrypted devices (cryptosetup openLuks /dev/sdaX and vgchange -a y) and finsh booting (just type exit ... took me some time ). Then login and edit grub config: nano /etc/default/grub and add rootdelay=YY to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (YY is time in seconds, 10 was enough for me). Finally update grub with update-grub.

Before and after the fix I saw another problem in boot/syslog, something like timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:x0123456789123456789'. This seem to have something to do with a audio driver that can't load or some video driver interfering with each other. Just add nomodeset to the default command line above and that was fixed for me as well.

Now install a dropbear ssh to enter passphrase with this and/or this guide (plus a key convertion with puttygen from OpenSSH to Putty private key) and everything was set up for booting my OMV. Didn't even need the new ps stuff, the old old "echo > crypt" command was enough.
