Dear Maintainer,

I have installed testing from an ISO image I downloaded about 3 or 4
days ago. During installation, I decided for manual partitioning. I
set up LVM volumes in an encrypted LVM group.

After the installation has finished 'successfully', the installed
system is unbootable. After a short timeout, it reported "Gave up
waiting for root device".

I have figured out that, although I prepared LVM groups/volumes in the
installer, the installed system was missing the lvm2 package. After
booting a rescue system I was able to install lvm2 on the new system
and after that it booted fine.

Thanks,
mel

No worries, we're all busy. :)

That's very nice to hear.

No worries, I'll just close this bug report for now; feel free to reopen
this bug report or report a new one in case you experience any issues in
a later installation.
