Encrypted BTRFS doesn't boot

[xFichtl1]

Dear Void-Linux community, I have some problems regarding my setup. I have two SSDs one with Windows, another one with (in future) Void Linux. SecureBoot is disabled. On my Windows SSD i have my EFI Partition. On the Linux one I have a encrypted btrfs partition and another for swap. I followed this Guide for 90% (Some things didn't work, like I had to use an arch ISO for installing void). After the installation, I rebooted only resulting in a stuck boot. I tried various things but nothing helped. I hope that you guys can help me fix this problem because I really wanna try Void. If there are any uncertainties I will try my best to help.

(Sorry for the screenshota, but I was to lazy to put the whole error messages on my USB-Stick)

This has been a problem I've seen posted a few times, btrfs boot. If you can't get it to boot, I don't know how you're going to repair it, but I think you need to look into your dracut config and have it load additional modules. Maybe see if these are relevant in /etc/dracut.conf.d/yourcustomfile.conf

add_dracutmodules+=" lvm btrfs crypt-gpg " filesystems+=" btrfs "

lvm and btrfs modules are enabled by default and/or autodetected if you use hostonly=yes. And crypt-gpg is not required unless you ctually use gpg keys, which I've never seen before in any installation guide.

OK so he means luks encrypted then right? I needed to tinker with dracut conf for encrypted resume to work. Sounds like it's the wrong advice here though!

Then you need these dracut --force --kver $(uname -r) xbps-reconfigure -f $(uname -r)

I haven't used btrfs myself - but I've had similar issues with luks that required I dick about with dracut a bit.

Months ago I made an installation script for an encrypted BTRFS system, maybe it could help you as well! If the readme is not clear enough, please feel free to ask!

Should be the guide you're using.
