this question is now answered. I had to reboot my machine today, but it
now completely refuses to come up. Which is now a BIG problem for me...

I also have another data point:

In my initial submission, I quoted block numbers, like eg.

  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md1 (10718)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (10719)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md1 (10720)
  /sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (10721)
                                 ^^^^^^^
Unlocking the disk /dev/md1 (md1_crypt)


I now noticed that these block numbers vary by boot attempt, but
couldn't yet detect a pattern.


Kind regards,
