I have my hard drive encrypted with ubuntu 20.04, using the installer, When I updated to kernel 5.4.0-47-generic , instead of asking for my password it sits at

cryptsetup: waiting for encrypted source device UUID=......

If I go under advanced options and boot to kernel 5.4.0-42-generic everything works just fine

    Hello! can you show your /etc/crypttab and do you use a unencrypted boot partition and the rest is full encrypted or do use something else?

  • Ok, that looks fine. How does your layout from your nvme? Is it uncrypted boot and the rest encrypted?

I'm experiencing the same problem. This seems to be a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1894860.

My solution at the moment is when booting.

  1. open the grub menu.
  2. Select Advanced options for Ubuntu.
  3. Select Ubuntu, with Linux 5.4.0-42
