openSUSE-Tumbleweed-XFCE-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20200831-Media.iso works, can open > encrypted fs.
The issue disappeared with a new TW snapshot, so we are going to close it as fixed.
I guess this was a one-time-only problem in the transition from older kernel versions which did not yet have essiv.ko, that dracut did not "automatically" add that module for newer kernels at the first time.
now that I've manually created a first initrd with new kernel and essiv.ko, after reboot and running new kernel (and module essiv loaded), dracut does the > right thing and again creates working (for me) initrd for updated kernel.
but still it would good to add that magic knowlege for users who run opensuse 15.2 with 5.3.* kernels to avoid that they run into that issue once they upgrade from 15.2 to newer distros...
I think this is not easy to deduce from dracut. We will keep this report in mind when testing an upgrade from a 5.3 kernel to a much higher version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
