    haha, lol, that was funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣. That's not what I meant, I was meaning to ask if there are people to help you or other people who experience the same problem on other distro or if someone mentioned it on the chat of Peppermeint OS, or that you spent all this time reproducing the error and tried to figured it out on your own. By the way you answer, I'd say that you spend a lot of time to figure it out and there was little to no help from others. It was because you said that "the fix has been in for...

    When choose the option encrypt disk and after the installation process and reboot. Before entering to grub I was asked to input the disk key, then grub initialized, and after that I got kick to busybox reason : the GRUB config was to look for /dev/mapper/luks-UUID, when manually decrypt using cryptsetup /dev/sda1 UUID the decrypted system was /dev/mapper/UUID solution : use live usb to boot into it, decrypt the partition, mount in mnt and modify both in /mnt/etc/default/grub and /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg...

    @cavy Good news, I actually found the solution, full detail in https://superuser.com/questions/1714597/peppermint-os-boot-failure-because-of-disk-encryption/1716808#1716808 so you can reproduce the error and follow the solution steps. The problem is indeed within "luks-" prefix, but not in the way I originally thought and I'll give summary here: First of all, everything is configured "correctly" but somehow the /etc/crypttab is not working and did not decrypt the partitions, upon removing all "luks-"...

    Nope, what I said is wrong, lol. I misunderstood the text, I just reread, in LUKS1 the volume key can be found by user space, so having a key file doesn't change a thing, where LUKS2 the volume key is offloaded to the kernel keyring, so having a key file is less secure (and the first time I read it I thought that it can pass the password to the kernel, but upon rereading again, it seems to not be the case)

    nice!!! 👍👍👍, BTW I might have found a solution on my side too regarding getting kicked to busybox (initramfs), I'll be tweaking a bit and if it works, I'll post the solution to super user stack exchange as an answer to myself, so those with the same problem can refer to it. If I understand it correctly it only present on LUKS1 and not LUKS2. So in the future, this solution might not be necessary at all. Thank you for your hard work and dedication and your time that you invested in this matter
