Issue with mounting lvm partition

[Former user]

Hello, i have some issue with mounting the lvm with the better-initramfs. I build it out of source with this commands:

bootstrap/bootstrap-all
make prepare
make image
cp -v ./output/initramfs.cpio.gz /boot

I'm using grub(1).

grub.conf:

root (hd1,0) 
kernel /boot/kernel-3.12.0-gentoo enc_root=/dev/gentoo/root lvm luks root=/dev/mapper/gentoo-root rootfstype=ext4
initrd /boot/initramfs.cpio.gz

After i'm entering my password for the Luk, he wanted to map the /dev/gentoo/root to /dev/mapper/enc_root and also /dev/mapper/gentoo-root to /newroot

What i'm doing wrong?

I have attached an image to this issue of my booting screen

Hi,

Looks like you have encrypted LVM's LV, then you do set root= to /dev/mapper/enc_root, as this is where /dev/mapper/gentoo-root -> <decryption> -> /dev/mapper/enc_root goes.

your enc_root and root is the same (/dev/gentoo/XXX = /dev/mapper/gentoo-XXX).

Adjusting root= is the solution.
