--- Comment #31 from Harald Koenig
Well, I'm no expert in this area at all, so not the best person to ask...
In anyway, Harald, could you test the recent TW live image or a rescue image, and verify whether you can mount the partition manually from there? If it works, we can compare what's missing.
VERY good idea, thanks! openSUSE-Tumbleweed-XFCE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20200831-Media.iso works, can open encrypted fs. lsmod shows 188 modules. I've created an initrd with all 188 modules with dracut --install mod1 ... this still does not work. but provides lots of files for more testing in initrd ;) loading all kernel/crypto/* with insmod works. rebooting and loading those modules one by one shows that essiv.ko.xz is needed. but just "modprobe essiv" complains about missing symbol. only after "depmod -a" this modprobe works and cryptsetup open too. now I've created a new initrd with dracut --add-drivers essiv --kver 5.8.4-1-default --force and boot works!!! questions remaining: why did this happen ? what's the right way to fix this for the future ? a big THANKS for your help and input! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
