# ls /dev/mapper/

contained:

   ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/48537739-1f62-4c12-8bf1-9d662d8cc74f does 
not exist.
	Check cryptopts=source= bootarg: cat /proc/cmdline
	or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules; ls /dev
-r Dropping to a shell. Will skip 
/dev/disk/by-uuid/48537739-1f62-4c12-8bf1-9d662d8cc74f if you can't fix.

There were other messages repeated on the screen.

I hope this helps.
