Looking at your logs, it appears that you used encrypted LVM as partitioning
scheme.
So, when booting the machine, you need to unlock the encryption for the disk.
Did you entered the key during boot?
I guess you didn't, since you did not mention this.
So maybe it's just waiting for this?
Try to start the machine and when it seems to be stuck in boot process,
type in your encryption key - even if you don't see anything.
Probably the issue is, that for whatever reason the 'Unlock disk dialog'
is simply not shown?
I did a test installation here on a QEMU virtual machine, also with
encrypted LVM, and it boots fine (after typing the key).
And the logs looking very similar, so I guess the installation itself
worked correct.
Another thing for you to try is, to reinstall Debian, and choose LVM (without
encryption) in the partitioning step, just to test if this makes the
machine boot fine then.
If yes, that might a sign, that unlocking the encryption could be the issue.
