Thanks.
I noticed that you don't have those crypt devices marked as noauto (or
nofail) in /etc/fstab.
This means, if they fail to show up during boot systemd will drop you in
an emergency shell (which is what happened in your case).

Try booting with systemd where those devices are marked accordingly in
fstab.
