Unable to decrypt root in my compiled kernel

[frigid onyx]

Hey all, i have got decryption going in the bin kernel but apparently i am missing some config to get that going in the kernel i compiled, i made sure to include dmcrypt in my kernel but to no avail. I am using a UKI with dracut

kernel_cmdline="crypt_root=UUID=40d70489-3b71-4d36-8b72-f16098d964be rd.luks.partuuid=40d70489-3b71-4d36-8b72-f16098d964be rd.luks.uuid=0d70489-3b71-4d36-8b72-f16098d964be root=UUID=848d9de8-501e-43ad-bdbf-0fe0a556d2f2 rootflags=subvol=@

im seeing a lot of numbers and letters and no ugrd

one day i will learn to read but there is a simple solution to your (likely) misconfig, because dracut needs perfect config to work

If u want dr*cut do that

@frigid onyx what does your dracut config look like? I’ve heard you should keep that default and put the parameters in the grub config instead

[upbeat canyon]

I tried and it did not work to me

[frigid onyx]

since i have a uki my kernel cmdline is in the dracut conf

[frigid onyx]

hey, thanks for the suggestions, how do i go about creating an UKI with ugrd?

[frigid onyx]

if ugrd is the new standard, i would love to learn that

can the initrd gen y ugrd and uki gen be dracut?

i tried that and it doesnt seem like to be creating the uki

[frigid onyx]

right, read thru that and install kernel wiki but still unable to automatically generate the uki

[brave plinth]

You can generate the initramfs with ugrd, then use ukify pack it together with the kernel in a uki

do you use installkernel?

Something like /etc/kernel/install.conf:
layout=uki
initrd_generator=ugrd
uki_generator=ukify

[frigid onyx]

yep figured it out, had to get ukify running.
