That might come in handy if we have troubles reproducing your exact issue. Out of curiosity: is grub able to handle unlocking the root partition without a separate /boot partition? I haven't tried that myself yet. > I've also installed Jessie on several machines with a very similar > partitioning layout as in this bug report (two drives) without issue. The os-prober codepath you're hitting is rather new (Stretch RC 1), so I'm not surprised that you didn't hit this issue with Jessie. KiBi.
