Some progress: Could reproduce the issue on another system, physical hardware. It's not using luks/lvm, so this is a general issue. I was dropped into the rescue shell and same as Russel, I had no /dev/sda devices. I noticed that the sd_mod module, the SCSI disk driver module, was not loaded. Manually loading that allowed me to successfully boot. So it looks like manually loading the sg module from within the 80-drivers.rules udev rule under certain circumstances prevents sd_mod from being loaded. As no /dev/sd* devices then show up, that would also explain why you never see the luks unlock prompt. I'm pretty sure it's the same bug, so I'm going the merge the two. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
