Some tests I just did :

- "journalctl | grep refind > refind.txt" > Empty file

- Currently, I am booting like that : UEFI > Refind > Grub > Linux kernel

- Chainloading the UEFI directly to Grub (no use of Refind) : gives the same random bug

- Chainloading the Refind directly to Linux kernel (no use of Grub) : gives the same random bug and when it passes, it bugs later at a busybox prompt because I guess that Refind is not able to boot alone an OS installed on a LUKS partition.

- Install of Debian 9.3 Stable : Boot always works (Linux 4.9 kernel)

- UEFI > Refind > Grub (advanced menu) > Ubuntu with Linux 4.13.0-32 > Gives the same random bug but then I have a display of 2 lines before the freeze.
Those 2 lines are :
Loading Linux 4.13.0-32-generic ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

I am wondering if I could circumvent the bug with the use of an old linux kernel on Xubuntu.
Is is possible to install the 4.9 linux version on Xubuntu 17.10 without breaking the OS ?
