Bug Description
Regression after the Kernel Updates after april 26th, all result in Failed Boot with LUKS on LVM.
Occurs on several IBM PC symtems with UBUNTU 16.04 and Xubuntu 18.04.
Fresh installation with the newest version and update does not give a better result.
All Pentium ibm pc´s with Ubuntu 16.04 and one with Xubuntu 18.04 have been installed with the standard full HDD encryption, LUKS on LVM. Decryption at startup worked fine for years until april the 26th of 2019. Since these (kernel) updates the regression problem occurs and stays.
After Powering on the system, the boot process will start. LUKS asks for the key.
After entering the key the decryption will start, but comes to an abrupt end before the startup (boot and decryption) is finished. Nothing is possible in that situation. The screen is frozen. The HDD is inactive. Switching off the power is the only way out.
After this failed boot, restarting the system, the grub menu shows for some seconds. After that LUKS asks for the key. Entering the key results in a completed startup and normal usable system.
Is this enough information to understand the problem ?
Or let me know what other information you need.
Is there a way out of this problem ? Or
Is there a simple way to circumvent this problem ?
Kind regards
