This is not enough information to diagnose the problem. We'll need the following: 1) Did you encrypt the partition using the debian installer 2) what vm XML you used: a) during installation b) when trying to finally boot the vm 3) what qemu command line you've used at the point you claim it worked 4) what is the error/final state when the VM fails to boot with libvirt
