Kernel with crypto and geli won't mount /

[Christian Baer]

Hi there, people!

I hope this isn't a double post! I noticed that my eMail-address in the 
original post was wrong, so I'm guessing it was filtered.

I have a little problem here that is bringing me some headaches. :-(
I am not sure if this is a GEOM-problem or one caused by the current 
-STABLE fork, so I'll put this question in here too. Please excuse my 
haste. The computer I tried to "remake" has been down for several days 
now and that's never good.

Sunday I set up a new FreeBSD 7.0 system (sparc64). This is a Sun U60 
and worked fine for me for ages under 6.3. Installing went without any 
problems. The problems started, when I updated the sources (due to a 
security issue) to RELENG_7. I made a new world and a new kernel. I did 
change the kernel-config by adding two lines:

options   GEOM_ELI
device    crypto

Well, technically I did a fair bit more than that, but when I ran into 
problems, I went back to a generic kernel with just these two extra 
lines. What this boils down to is that adding GEOM_ELI and crypto to the 
kernel seems to make my / unmountable (see dmesg after my sig). The 
generic kernel works fine but that isn't quite good enough because I 
have two encrypted providers on the drives - these were created under 
the old Version though.

One other thing might be worth mentioning: The system has two configured 
gmirrors (the encrypted providers are on top of those). These are not 
needed at boot time though and AFAIK no atempts to configure them are 
being made. Although I did back up my data it would be a lot easier to 
just keep them as they are instead of having to remake them.

Did I mess up somewhere or am I missing the point.

Regards
Chris
