[SOLVED] linux-grsec does not mount rootfs (was: typo)

Hello,

I have an issue with linux-grsec from community, which does correctly detect my cryptsetup root container but after unlocking will not mount it, and thus not boot.

Here is my setup:

mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES="i915 crc32c-intel"
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt filesystems keyboard fsck"
COMPRESSION="xz"

syslinux.cfg (normal + grsec options)

LABEL arch
    MENU LABEL Arch Linux
    LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
    APPEND root=/dev/mapper/crypto-root cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:crypto-root rw acpi_osi="!Windows 2012"
    INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img

LABEL archgrsec
    MENU LABEL Arch Linux (grsecurity)
    LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux-grsec
    APPEND root=/dev/mapper/crpyto-root cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:crypto-root rw acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" nopcid pax_softmode=1
    INITRD ../initramfs-linux-grsec.img

I have two images from the boot process, to clarify where I'm stuck at.

I can mount /dev/mapper/crypto-root and access my rootfs from that console manually.

What to do to fix this?

I saw another topic like yours. See if it has something to help you out.
Some time is useful to check here

There does not seem anything meaningful for me in the topic you linked. I'm using syslinux not grub/gummiboot, and I don't use EFI/SecureBoot. I used the search function but it is pretty scarce when it comes to the grsecurity patched kernel.

Everything works fine with the standard kernel. It is just linux-grsec that does not mount my rootfs.

Oh wow, thank you. I did not see that.

It is booting up fine now, marking this as solved.
