Bug#1035360: bookworm RC2 installation leaves luks encrypted system in unbootable state
Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
X-Debbugs-Cc: thinkpad@rumbero.org
Hi all,
using the xfce4 based RC2 live ISO image[1], on a Thinkpad T480 (16GB RAM/256GB NVME/INTEL GRAPHICS ONLY) installation of Debian in an luks encrypted LVM was performed.
Apparently, the required cryptsetup-initramfs packages were removed from the system during the last instalation stages, rendering the resulting system unbootable.
Manual intervention was required to fix the issue from a live rescue system, something a novice user will never be able to accomplish.
The same issue was already note with the prior RC1 variant of this bookworm live ISO. It can be reliably reproduced.
Attached installation logs should be sufficiently verbose about what actually happened underneath.
