Bug Description

I get a
"cryptsetup: Waiting for encrypted source device UUID=<UID>"

message when trying to boot with kernels 5.4.0-47 and 5.4.0.-45
and then nothing happens

pressing ESC displays
"Volume group "vgubuntu" not found
Cannot process volume group vgubuntu"

System was dm-crypt/LUKS encrypted at installation

kernel 5.4.0-42 still works

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD). You can verify the integrity of the Ubuntu ISO files you downloaded by following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM. You might also retry your installation with new media. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!

it has nothing to do with the installation media - the system was setup with 1910 and upgraded to 2004 - was running fine ever since, the problem is with the mentioned kernels: not booting, no real error message

Eugen, normally the kernel bot posts the following text but it hasn't done so as the bug report has a status of 'Incomplete' and was initially filed against the installer rather than the kernel:

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

  apport-collect 1894860

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.
---

Make sure you update the status even if you can't run the 'apport-collect' command.
