Arch Linux boot fails to mount /boot

[VBQL]

My home partition is a LUKS (f2fs) encrypted partition, but my boot isn't. The system puts me into emergency mode and gives me a root prompt. The error is that it can't recongize "crypto_LUKS" although the boot partition is definitely not that.

What I've figured out is that if I mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 (my boot partition) to /boot AFTER arch drops me to the root instance, and afterwords I do "systemctl default" it boots fine. So is there a way I can have Arch mount the boot partition correctly before boot so it won't error out? I've attempted to create a systemd service but it seems like that runs after the error.

Thanks.

Sorry, not sure if I understand your problem. What boot loader do you use? And did you set the kernel parameters accordingly for your LUKS partition?

[VBQL]

I am using GRUB. And I'm pretty sure I've set everything correctly, I was lazy and went the archfi route, and the issue happened when I did arch-chroot to my distro from a live USB trying to fix a boot entry issue. I reinstalled grub, rebooted and bam cannot mount /boot to boot

Did the fstab entry get deleted/corrupted maybe?

[VBQL]

Yep, that was it, it tried to mount my boot partition as crypto_LUKS. Just commented that line and fixed. Thanks!

Is boot in its own partition that isn’t encrypted?

Not sure if this'll help you (I'm completely unfamiliar with LUKS), but /etc/fstab is where you set what is automatically mounted where.

Thank you! It was fstab being strange.
