https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204969 Bug ID: 204969 Summary: geom_eli_passphrase_prompt does not recognize input via serial console Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: tok@redux1.net Situation: GELI disk encryption has been automatically set up by 10.2 installer. Therefore, geom_eli_passphrase_prompt ist set to true in /boot/loader.conf to show the new "early" pre-kernel GELI prompt ("GELI passphrase:"). However, when a serial comconsole is set up and the system is operated via serial console, the pre-kernel GELI passphrase prompt does not recognize any character input and therefore cannot be used to unlock the disk(s). The serial console is configured via loader.conf: boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" console="comconsole,vidconsole" Direct input on video console works, so does any subsequent serial input after the GELI prompt. Current workaround via serial is to disable geom_eli_passphrase_prompt in order to unlock the disk(s) when prompted after the kernel was loaded. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
