I’ve been trying to install Arch Linux following the Installation guide with an encrypted root partition (dm-crypt and LUKS), however, with PureBoot I can’t get the system to boot.
I have tried using the encrypt hook as well as the sd-encrypt hook.
Without encryption everything works smoothly. Also I tried to setup everything the same way in a libvirt/QEMU VM and it worked as well.
The process stops showing me no more than the following output:
Loading the new kernel:
kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-linux --initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux.img --append="rd.luks.name=c7bd78bf-06de-4555-9475-c86a4fce48f7=cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot rw loglevel=3 verbose intel_iommu=igfx_off vt.default_red=0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff"
Starting the new kernel
I have tried as well to specify the root partition’s UUID instead of the rd.luks.name, like PureOS seems to do it:
--append="root=UUID=8f953f1e-4391-4242-85e1-867e73327ca5 rw ..."
However, I’ve had no luck so far.

Does anybody have any idea what mistake I’m making?
How could I get some output of what’s going wrong?
