Bug#1051681: Hangs trying to boot from /boot on LVM+LUKS

[Mate Kukri]

Hi Michel,

There are a rather high number of variables to isolate here. If you
could provide the following information, it might help provide a
better guess at what's going on:
- Computer (or mainboard if white box desktop) model
- Firmware revision
- Is Secure Boot enabled?
- Description of your disk layout

Also if you could just try using the grub 2.12-1 binary to boot a
kernel+initrd from an ext4 volume directly (e.g. using a usb drive or
spare disk), that would also be very helpful, I wonder if this
regression has something to do with LVM.

Mate
