Problem with fstab.rootfs in on an dm-crypt/LUKS encrypted SATA drive


Greetings.

I've experienced a small error while booting Sorcerer, and, being relatively new to full drive encryption, I feel like that may be the problem, or at least part of it. I'll start with the technical details.

Distro: Sorcerer
Target drive: /dev/sdb
Partitions:
  • /dev/sdb1 (/boot)
  • /dev/sdb2 = /dev/mapper/cryptroot (/)
  • /dev/sdb3 = /dev/mapper/crypthome (/home)

The problem: I'm getting two parse errors for fstab.rootfs while booting, and it seems to think that the file is pointing to /dev/sda1 and giving me the error that it's not a proper ext2 partition. fstab.rootfs doesn't list /dev/sda1 at all, and instead only lists the above partitions.

Given the fact that /dev/sda1 isn't even mentioned, I would think that it's perhaps reading the file wrong and possibly defaulting to /dev/sda1 as an ext2 boot partition. I should also note that I am technically able to boot into the operating system, but the error occurs while it's starting up.

I'm a bit confused and Sorcerer doesn't seem to have the best (and up-to-date) documentation in comparison to Arch, which is what I'm personally accustomed to. Thoughts or ideas?
