First, your HOOKS array should have lvm2 before encrypt so that the initramfs can setup the root volume before it tries decrypting it. IE: HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keymap lvm2 encrypt filesystems keyboard fsck systemd" Second, you have to tell the initramfs which lvm volume group and which volume of that volume group your root volume is. Your options array should be: options cryptdevice=/dev/LVMVOLUMEGROUP/LVMROOTVOLUME:root root=/dev/mapper/root rw where LVMVOLUMEGROUP is the group your root volume is a part of and LVMROOTVOLUME is your root logical volume. Also, since the encrypt hook mounts the LVMROOTVOLUME as /dev/mapper/root due to :root you have to change the root= to /dev/mapper/root. To summarize, your hooks array was incorrectly sorted, and your options array didn't take the lvm into account nor the fact that encrypt mounts the cryptdevice as root not hdd-root. -- Simon Thelen
