Thanks for the report.  Let=E2=80=99s address the initrd/boot issue first.

Nikita Karetnikov <nikita@karetnikov.org> skribis:

Any message after entering the password prompt?

It looks like =E2=80=98cryptsetup open=E2=80=99 simply failed, and =E2=80=
=98boot-system=E2=80=99
currently ignores that error, so it goes up to the file system check as
shown above, which in turn fails and gets us to the debugger.

Perhaps you could try running =E2=80=98cryptsetup=E2=80=99 by hand from the=
 REPL.
That=E2=80=99s going to be a bit tedious; something like:

  (use-modules (srfi srfi-1) (ice-9 ftw))
  (define cs (find (lambda (file)
                     (string-contains file "cryptsetup"))
                   (scandir "/gnu/store")))
  (system* (string-append "/gnu/store/" cs "/bin/cryptsetup")
           "open" "--type" "luks" "/dev/whatever" "main")

Then, please report the return value of =E2=80=98system*=E2=80=99, and check

  (file-exists? "/dev/mapper/main")

Please also report any messages.

Thanks in advance!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
