Description elsakendrick 2021-11-14 22:15:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

System does not boot after 3 password attempts. It gets stuck on the boot splash screen. Have to kill the power to shutdown.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Installed Packages
Name         : systemd
Version      : 249.6
Release      : 2.fc35
Architecture : x86_64

How reproducible:

After 3 failed password attempts

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter incorrect password 3 times at boot

Actual results:

System hangs.

Expected results:

Return to password prompt.

Additional info:

Adding rd.luks.options=<UUID>=discard,tries=0 to /etc/default/grub is a workaround to this problem.

(Warning speculation ahead)
May have somthing to do with arg_tries in:
