System won't boot 4.13.0-32 kernel

[Jim Carey]

Ever since the update to the 4.13.0-32 kernel, my system won't boot. When I turn off the splash screen and quiet, I see repeated messages about not connecting to lvmetad and falling back to device scanning.

The disk has a boot partition and a logical volume partition. The logical volume partition is encrypted with LUKS.

I can boot the 4.13.0-31 kernel with no problems (that's where the data for this bug was collected). I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this further.

4.16 kernel booted fine.

[Jim Carey (james-carey)]

For some reason, having done the process of removing nvidia, virtual box, installing the 4.16 kernel, removing the 4.16 kernel, reinstalling nvidia and virualbox, my system now boots the 4.13.0-32 kernel. Not sure what fixed it.

Don't know how to close the bug.
