An additional comment. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I will mention it. After a failed boot, I tried to manually access the LVM volumes. And I ran into this problem: ---- # vgchange -a y Request to list VGs in lvmetad gave response token_mismatch. Reason: lvmetad cache is invalid due to a global_filter change or due to a running rescan ---- I did not see that on the alpha releases of 42.2. I have seen that on both Beta releases. Additional information: the computer (system1 as identified in an earlier comment) has two hard drives, with an encrypted LVM on each. Install added "crypttab" entries for both of those encrypted LVMs. If I comment out the crypttab entry that is not actually needed, then I do not run into error above. If I leave both entries uncomments (thus active), then I seem to always run into that problem, which leaves no way of continuing.
