Bug Description

The problem easily reproducible in my configuration. It may be due lack of partition table on one of SSDs.

It also happens in Ubuntu 20.04 without encrypted devices.

Hi and thank you for the report!

Indeed it looks like an issue where we are not handling a case of Curtin not supporting / finding a partition table on one of the devices. Since you're able to reproduce the issue easily, could you try on 24.04 and see if it's reproducible there?

Only after posting did I realize the date on the bug! @sim would you mind opening a separate bug with further details?

Unfortunately, I had to change the partition layout to make Ubuntu 24.04
work. My understanding the issue is easily reproducible by encryption the
whole block device instead of a single partition.
