I don't know why, but I can't manage to follow these instructions on my debian stable. After installing dropbear and busybox, I tried to run
initramfs -u
. I got here a strange warning:
# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-4-amd64
dropbear: WARNING: Invalid authorized_keys file, remote unlocking of cryptroot via SSH won't work!
Then, I tried to look in the file /etc/initramfs-tools/root/.ssh/id_rsa
, but there is no folder root
in the initramfs folder. I also tried to run
dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/initramfs-tools/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
but there is no folder /etc/initramfs-tools/etc/
, so this command also fails. Of course, I can create these folders, but I'm afraid that this strange behaviour does not come from a deeper error. If it can help, here is the content of the initramfs folder:
me@server:/etc/initramfs-tools# ls
conf.d hooks initramfs.conf modules scripts update-initramfs.conf
Thank you!
