Based on this: [custom kernel] /dev/sdb: PTUUID="25169f0a-30ad-47e5-81a9-d74ae8286776" PTTYPE="gpt" [standard kernel] /dev/sda: PTUUID="25169f0a-30ad-47e5-81a9-d74ae8286776" PTTYPE="gpt" /dev/sda1: PARTUUID="1e4484e1-1499-4f9a-bd2f-e0f4d61e9920" /dev/sda2: UUID="48537739-1f62-4c12-8bf1-9d662d8cc74f" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" PARTLABEL="dk" PARTUUID="6b5c5648-1b4b-4be5-83d7-7c47eb8b53a6" /dev/sda3: UUID="bf028ceb-d1fa-4f62-b41f-d9d44adbe65a" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="5970fa70-34fa-4eca-aaf7-f085c9b55a27" I would guess that you didn't enable CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION and thus the kernel can't decode the partition table. > What I notice in the attached dmesgs is that the item: > > device-mapper: ioctl: 4.33.0-ioctl (2015-8-18) initialised: > [email protected] > > which occurs on the console immediately before "Please unlock disk > sda2_crypt:" comes after (at 3.128778) the items about ata, and sda when > the boot succeeds using a stock, modular kernel. > > When using the static kernel and the boot the device-mapper: ioctl: item > (at 1.413366) comes before the ata and sda items. > > In other words, it seems to me, that the system is trying to decrypt the > disk before it has been accessed.

It is your kernel configuration. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat. - John Lehman, Secretary of the US Navy 1981-1987
