Re: Won't boot if /, home, swap are encrypted
Definitely, I did not encrypt the /boot. Only the swap, home and root are encrypted.
I should have mentioned also that I have an EFI System Partition instead of /boot, as it makes me create it. If I have /boot instead, it doesn't let me go on and makes me create a EFI. But it boots fine, as long as the home, root, and swap are not encrypted.
Thanks!

Did you
remember to make an unencrypted /boot partition? The
Debian
installer does not support encrypted
/boot partition, you will need to
leave it
unencrypted.
For example,
see my current partition table:
matthew@matt-tower:~$
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN
RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda
8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0
953.7M 0 part /boot
├─sda2
8:2 0 1K 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0
464.8G 0 part
└─sda5_crypt
254:0 0 464.8G 0 crypt
├─root--swap-root 254:1 0 447G 0 lvm /
└─root--swap-swap 254:2 0
17.8G 0 lvm [SWAP]
sdb
8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0
931.5G 0 part
└─sdb1_crypt
254:3 0 931.5G 0 crypt
└─home-home 254:4 0 931.5G 0 lvm
/home
/boot is its own
unencrypted partition, root and swap are in a LUKS
encryption, and /home is on its own hard disk
(and also LUKS encrypted)
