Hi!

Note: There was some discussion about this on IRC a couple of weeks ago.

Guix won't boot on my ThinkPad T430 after an installation with fully encrypted disk:

* First, at the end of the installation, I'm getting the following error message multiple times: "device-mapper: remove ioctl on cryptroot failed: Device or resource busy"


* On boot, I am being prompted for the encryption key. So far so good. The Grub menu is then displayed and disappears after a few seconds – as it should – after which the computer is stuck on the Grub background image:


* Here are the Grub commands:


* As a test, I added an echo command at the very end. It got displayed.
* It happens on both 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.
* It happens both with and without a separate home partition.
* It happens on the two SSDs I had at hand.
* It does not happen if only the home partition is encrypted.
* I also tested this in a virtual machine. The issue did NOT happen.

Thanks,
Reg
