I am trying to Install Arch on my new Thinkpad T450s. Secure Boot is disabled, and my I set my bios to "boot to legacy mode only."
I can post any additional information if it would be helpful.
These are the primary guides I am following for anyone having a similar problem:
LVM_on_LUKS
Encrypted system using a remote LUKS header
So I boot up, unlock the hardware-level encryption, I get to here:

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="loop"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES="/boot/header.img"
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.

# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression

Crypttab.initramfs is this a transcription error? It should be all lower case.
If you use the systemd hook then the encrypt, lvm2 will not work but sd-encrypt sd-lvm2 are there so that is probably not the issue. No knowledge of the encrypt2 hook.
The cryptdevice parameter is not recognised by sd-encrypt and as mentioned above the encrypt hook will not run so unless encrypt2 is compatible with the systemd hook it will be ignored.

Hope this is of some help.
