(In reply to Harald Koenig from comment #19) > native cryptsetup showed the same error. > Ok then it's not specific to systemd-cryptsetup. > > how can I find/provide the missing kernel mod? > You can try to dump the content of 2 initrds, one which fails to boot and the other one which is ok, and compare the outputs. You can dump the relevant content of an initrd with the following commnad: > $ lsinitrd --kver <kernel-version-ko> | sed -ne 's,.* \(lib/modules/.*.ko\),\1,p' Please make sure to restore the initrds you modified previously (by adding cryptsetup and other kern modules). Thanks.
