I'm getting the "cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available" on boot too, but I don't think this has anything to do with linux-virtual, since I don't use it. I have just installed 4 laptops without problems using the 10.10beta image (i386) in last two weeks, and now with the fifth I used the final 10.10 image and got this after updating the initramfs (needed to tweak the encryption to use a a file in a usb flash drive to decrypt the drive).

If I wait log enough, I get also "-r ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/[id] does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"

If I try to boot with recovery mode, I get this:

"Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... cryptsetup: lvm device name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/[id]) does not begin with /dev/mapper/
cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available
Begin: Waiting for encrypted source device... ..."

My guess is that there is some regression in making of the initramfs. This is kind of major bug since it totally stops the booting of a system with encrypted root partition.
