The same setup as mine and the same problem after the update. however i think the solution is just a coincidence since I had both packages installed already. WHat I have noticed howeever is that I get two jobs running one for udev (udev-settle) with a limit of 180s and the one for lvm activation of 90s. now i speculate that whatever settle is doing has effect on lvm activation and is not finished in the 90s. I reduced the time in settle to 70s and after approx 2min i have the login screen up without the emergency systemd. systemd-analyze blame 1min 50.210s lvm2-activation-net.service 1min 10.197s systemd-udev-settle.service 8.664s systemd-cryptsetup@cr_nvme \x2d2002538435b1b37d4\x2dpart2.service my understanding is this can be cause by many things so once i get more time I may dig more.
