login buffer display

Postby Greeneco » Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:48 am

Hi,

I have put the Archlinux Arm on my SD card and the first time I have done this it was all correct and worked well but I had to "reinstall" everything for several reason. So now I am doing the same steps as before but I getting a weird "problem", ok it's no real problem but it's quite weird.
When I first started everything seems normal than I update the system and install "sudo mkinitcpio rsync". When I now reboot it and see the login screen it looks like this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'alarmpi login: [ 14.9646851 smsc95xx 1-1.1:1 eth0 link up, 100Mbps, full-dupley, lpa 0x41E1')
And I have to first press Enter to login and when I wait a bit some new things appear as well like the following one:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ 602.262297] bcm2708_fb_blank blank_mode=1')

I want to encrypt a part of my SD card and I have followed this https://gist.github.com/pezz/5310082 instructions which worked the first time just fine, as I am having a German keboard I need to use "keyboard keymap encrypt" in the mkinitcpio.conf file, but I have not able to decrypt it, it is always returned that there is no such key, although I am preatty sure I am doing the same steps as before when it has worked quite well and nicely.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

King regards,

So,
I have made a test, I have used the word "root" as my keyphase for my encryption. This works and I can boot but if I am using the following key:
"Xö&(4n=%YF3Ü!BN"
it does not work. Could anybody give me a hint why? Are there any characheters I am not allowed to use, although I am using the German keyboard layout de-latin1 an I do load keymap after keyboard, so the needed keyboardmaps should be loaded correctly. Also when I need to open the encrypted volume after I have created it the key works and I have tested that the keymap was loaded.

King regards,
