apparently, something is wrong with your lvm processing during initramfs
stage. Obviously, you have an LVM volume group 'dk' on top of the
encrypted luks device /dev/sda2.

For some reason, the volume group is not activated by the cryptroot
script during initramfs stage. From the debug log it looks like
sda2_crypt is not unlocked. Is this correct or are you asked for a
passphrase during initramfs?

In the initramfs emergency shell that starts, please run the following
commands and send us the result:

# ls -al /dev/mapper/
# dmsetup table

and

# sed -i -e 's#/bin/sh#/bin/sh -x#g' /scripts/local-top/cryptroot
# /scripts/local-top/cryptroot>

Cheers
 jonas
