Package: loop-aes-utils
Severity: normal



-- System Information:
Debian Release: 6.0
  APT prefers squeeze-updates
  APT policy: (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core)
Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash


I just installed a fresh clean Debian Squeeze 686 and changed from
loop-aes to dm-crypt.
I did:
apt-get install libpam-mount cryptsetup
cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdXX
blkid
mkdir /mnt/geheim ; echo "UUID=xxx /mnt/geheim crypt defaults 0
0" >> /etc/fstab

And guess what?

The computer hangs at startup after saying "Password:"

So it's not loop-aes related. I now do not have any loopa-aes-package
installed.

Again, also with crypt, I have to add option "noauto" to fstab and have
to manually "mount /mnt/geheim" in the example above. That works fine,
but not automaitcally at startup.

Very annoying, I do not understand that this bug is no release blocker?
