No boot after entered LUKS passphrase

I'm trying to install Arch on a LUKS-encrypted partition. The partitioning is very simple :
- a /boot partition
- a simple ext4 partition on LUKS

The installation seemed to be OK, and when I boot my computer, I have GRUB, and then I type my LUKS passphrase.
However after that nothing is done; the startup process does not begin. It is only printed :

/root: clean, 18…/15… files, 22…/ 60… blocks
[   12.99] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to send firmware data (-38)

Whith the kernel option "rescue", I got an access to a shell and I saw that the partition was correctly decrypted and mounted.

My mkinitcpio hooks are : "base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap encrypt filesystems fsck plymouth"
The GRUB options are : "rw quiet cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot"

What can be wrong in my installation ?

Do you mean what is in journalctl ? There is a lot of lines.

Yes, there are. Read it and work out what, if anything, is failing or broken...

Moving to NC.

Re: No boot after entered LUKS passphrase

I found nothing remarquable. Here are my last lines diplayed when I boot, after that, the screen freeze :

Starting Light Display Manager
Starting Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit
Started Hostname Service
Started Netwotk Service
Reached target Netwotrk

And the end of the journal of the boot got with a chroot :

Re: No boot after entered LUKS passphrase

Sorry for bumping this but I am having the same problem and there is nothing in the journal. I even installed Arch to a second driver and I am having the same problem. The problem happens randomly with boot being successful most of the time.
