Unable to boot default installation of Debian Jessie with lvm and encryption enabled
Hello,
I installed Debian 8 in a virtual machine (VirtualBox 4.3.12 r93733
running on Windows 8) with a virtual hard drive of size 16 GB. It
installs fine, but it fails upon boot. It seems it cannot find the boot
partition or something possibly because some module is failing to load.
I've searched for these terms online and have found similar problems,
but wasn't quite sure if this is different. I was going to open a bug
report, but I was a little unsure where to do that and what info to
provide (new to Debian). I'm pasting in the output of the attempted
boot. If there is useful information that I'm not providing, please let
me know.
Note: the following was OCRed from screenshots taken from the virtual
machine. Minor changes were made for formatting (i.e. adding new lines
here and there).
Cheers,
Thomas Nyberg

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enoughT)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right deviceT)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
