Public bug reported: I recently upgraded to the hwe-16.04 kernel and X server.
I am unable to boot the 4.10 series hwe kernels. At the plymouth splash screen I just see the message, "cryptsetup: lvm is not available" over and over again, and I am never asked for my FDE password to unlock the luks-encrypted root partition. I've observed this in both 4.10.0-33 and 4.10.0-35 kernels. This never happened with the 4.4 series kernels. In fact, I can still choose a 4.4 series kernel in the grub menu, boot that, and it works fine -- no error message, asks me for my password, mounts root, and off we go. The error "lvm is not available" is particularly strange in that it shouldn't be needed -- this system has no lvm containers. I only use device-mapper.
