after an update, Qubes OS just bootloops. removing the quiet
param reveals that it’s unable to mount the root device.
Though it stopped prompting for a disk encryption password.
things checked:
rd.luks.uuid
is matching/dev/nvme0n1p3
(default setup)- root lvm partition is ‘
ACTIVE
’ - mounting the partition in “resuce mode” by hand (
cryptsetup
) works
This install used to work fine.
Qubes Version is 4.1.2
Could it be the initramfs is missing luks and/or lvm support?
here are some log message (typos due to google lens text ocr):
