LUKS + btrfs, UEFI, systemd-boot: Time out waiting for disk on boot

I'm trying to install a system on a LUKS encypted partition using btrfs subvolumes. I'm using UEFI and systemd-boot to boot.

The main disk has quite a few partitions as I'm dual booting with Windows, but the main ones are:

• /dev/nvme0n1p1 UUID=5CE2-A16C (The EFI partition, also mounted to /boot in the installed system)

• /dev/nvme0n1p4 UUID=11d59ba4-b352-4fde-9781-5a21abda29c7 (The encrypted partition)

When unencrypted the partition should be placed at /dev/mapper/system and have the UUID 61697513-452c-4ad5-9a05-d22f0ffa67e4.

However, when I boot I get the following

If anyone has some idea of what I've done wrong, or ideas on how I can try and troubleshoot this, that would be really helpful

Re: LUKS + btrfs, UEFI, systemd-boot: Time out waiting for disk on boot

hey sorry to kick up dusts, but did you ever get this solved? I am seeing similar stuff and couldn't figure out why.
