[CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

I'm getting emergency mode on boot with error. What might be wrong?

Timed out waiting for device /dev/pool/root.
Dependency failed fo File System Check on /dev/pool/root.

  • UEFI

  • LVM on LUKS

  • ext4

  • systemd-boot

  • mkinitcpio

  • fresh Arch install (new laptop Asus Vivobook), Intel

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

You are using sd-encrypt hook, but cryptdevice= parameter only works for regular non-systemd encrypt hook. See mkinitcpio -H encrypt vs. sd-encrypt

Other than that I recommend using UUID for LUKS and filesystem instead of PARTUUID / filepaths.

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

I have updated mkinitcpio.conf and bootloader entry (arch.conf) accordingly to sd-hooks fashion (see updated files). I still do end in emergency mode with blank screen first, after a minute or so it shows the same error "Timed out waiting for device /dev/pool/root". What could be wrong? Does that "cryptlvm" name has to match anything? It shouldn't, right?

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

try changing "sd-lvm2" to "lvm2" in your mkinitcpio.conf

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

I replaced sd-lvm2 to lvm2 when mkinitcpio output told me that this module is deprecated. I ran "mkinitcpio -P" afterwards successfully. Same result, though.

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

The UUID you need to use in your bootloader is the UUID of /dev/nvme0n1p2

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

I did change UUID, but it surprisingly didn't help either. Black screen at first (no output), after 2-3 minutes emergency mode shows up (timed out waiting for device /dev/pool/root).

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

Try changing from /dev/pool/root and /dev/pool/swap to /dev/mapper/pool-root and /dev/mapper/pool-swap.

Another thing you may want to try would be to install grub. Hear me out. Grub can be installed and later removed, /but/ if you install grub and it "just works", you can probably look at grub's configuration and suss out what's gone wrong with the way you have things configured with systemd-boot.

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

Still no luck. I've already tried rEFInd before systemd-boot, but I might try installing grub and hopefully see what's going on. Thank you for your advice, guys.

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

A-ha, I think you need to change from cryptlvm to luks (your actual label):

rd.luks.name=80910763-5993-4816-9a04-f7e0f3b49880=cryptlvm

to

rd.luks.name=80910763-5993-4816-9a04-f7e0f3b49880=luks

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

otherwise in the emergency shell, check

cat /proc/cmdline # parameters as expected?
cat /proc/partitions # devices as expected?
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid # uuid as expected?

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

"luks" label fixed. Same situation, still.

When in emergency mode, interestingly enough, system won't let me get into the shell.  It still tries to periodically load configuration.

Re: [CLOSED] Waiting for device on boot (LVM on LUKS, systemd-boot)

I've decided to go for ZFS filesystem afterall, which might be a better choice anyway, hopefully to avoid this thing. Thank you guys again for your advices.

How can I close this thread?
