Hi,
I set up a partition /dev/sdb2 for my /ROOT partition with dm-crypt/LUKS. I followed the Arch-wiki for Luks.
This is an "After Install" setup. I just made a tar -pczvf of my /root partition. Then tar pxvf root.tar.gz -C /mnt/sdb2
I have this in my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb encrypt filesystems"
Do I need to add these to mkinitcpio.conf too? I found them on some other HowTo... didn't try though
MODULES="dm-crypt"
CRYPTO_MODULES="aes_x86_64"
My /boot/grub/menu.lst Kernel line looks like this
kernel /vmlinuz26 cryptdevice:/dev/sdb2:root root=/dev/mapper/root ro
When I try to boot it stops at
cryptdevice:/dev/sdb2:root : Is not a valid variable
--------------------------
What could I be doing wrong? Am I missing or missspelling something ?
Owe, I alredy had some encrypted partitions so I already had the "encrypt" Hook in my mkinitcpio.conf. I am farly sure I have installed a new kernel and there for had a new Kernel Boot IMG genorated with the modified /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
Would the problem I am haveing be a sign that I need to build a new kernel26.img ?

You should have a '=' after 'cryptdevice', not ':'.
EDIT: as a side comment, if you don't have encrypted root, you don't need to have the 'encrypt' hook in mkinitcpio.conf.

Owe, hum ya I really did have cryptdevice: instead of cryptdevice=
I knew it must have been something small I was overlooking. I must be blind.
Thanks
