[SOLVED] Installation with LVM on LUKS is a mess and fails with GRUB

I've followed this guide 3 times and the 3 times it just yields the same horrid results, Grub can not decrypt the partition for some reason and then if falls to emergency shell.

device /dev/vg0/root not found, device /dev/vg0/swap not found.

What exactly is missing in that mess of a documentation Arch has or what did I miss from it?

Which guide?

You haven't given us any information to go on. Partition layout, initramfs hooks, bootloader config etc etc....
The Arch wiki seems to work fine for everyone else.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-cry … VM_on_LUKS

I have 2 partitions:

1 EFI
2 LVM

LVM has root, swap, home, var, var/log, var/tmp, media, that's it.

initramfs hooks is the standard that's in the doc, bootloader configs as well.

UUID on cryptdevice was wrong + The default options that are used under /etc/default/grub are pretty bad... Remove the quiet and remove the loglevel and maybe you can avoid these kind of posts in the future.

Now on with nouveau crapping out... (this can be closed)
