Bug Description

My system uses classic full disk encryption, my crypttab is ignored unless hostonly=yes is set, causing the system to wait for my encrypted / forever. Not sure how luks auto discovery is supposed to work here.

I tested following

1. In a VM install Ubuntu 24.10 with LVM with encryption
2. Install dracut afterwards: sudo apt install dracut
3. Add rd.shell to the boot arguments
4. Reboot

It booted successfully. This was using dracut 102-3ubuntu2.

```
$ cat /etc/crypttab
dm_crypt-0 UUID=b5422ba8-b534-41b0-8e91-ee502b5f0c4d none luks
$ cat /proc/cmdline

$ systemd-analyze

I assume that this setup is equivalent to yours. So I am marking this bug as fixed. Please reopen in case you still experience this bug.
