I would like to see these patches make it in for FC7 test4, although it may be a tight squeeze. Both patches should be against T3. The only thing missing here is anaconda
support, but I will need some help on that. I know the anaconda
support won't be for FC7 but we can make it happen for FC8.
The complete instructions for using the modified versions are posted on
www.cygnetech.com/linux/howtos/index.html It will be prettier at a later date, but I wanted to get this out to the community as soon as possible.
In short, with the modified mkinitrd, you can
massage a FC6 and FC7 (test3) CD installation into a fully encrypted
installation (sans boot media). The byproduct is being able to resume
a hibernated session from an encrypted disk as well as detected media
for removable keys.
Extra functionality added to mkinitrd is ability to add
persistent options in /etc/mkinitrd.conf ... This also allows for some
anaconda flexibility when generating encrypted installation when we can
get to that point.
I'll send this up through bugzilla as soon as I get my password reset. ARGH! Thoughts and feedback are appreciated.
