Description of problem: Am seeing this at system boot: journalctl -xb | grep cryptsetu Jan 05 05:45:17 turing-police.cc.vt.edu systemd[1]: Created slice system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice. -- Subject: Unit systemd-cryptsetup@luks\x2d665bb147\x2d9e39\x2d4003\x2db3ae\x2d7be925f51a97.service has begun start-up -- Unit systemd-cryptsetup@luks\x2d665bb147\x2d9e39\x2d4003\x2db3ae\x2d7be925f51a97.service has begun starting up. Jan 05 05:45:18 turing-police.cc.vt.edu dracut-initqueue[340]: Failed to start systemd-cryptsetup: Unit systemd-cryptsetup not found. systemd-cryptsetup-generator does its job, and builds a .service file which gets launched so I can enter the LUKS password and continue on with the boot. Unfortunately, it feeds a copy to dracut-initqueue, which takes all the \x2 escapes and loses the backslash, resulting in trying to find a non-existent unit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-046-36.git20171201.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
what is your kernel command line?
linuxefi /vmlinuz-4.15.0-rc6-next-20180104-dirty root=/dev/mapper/turing--police-root ro rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 rd.lvm.lv=turing-police/00 console.keymap="" rd .luks.uuid=luks-665bb147-9e39-4003-b3ae-7be925f51a97 rd.lvm.lv=turing-police/swap rd.lvm.lv=turing-police/root quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 nouveau.modeset=0 rd.drive r.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off So the command line has uuid= luks-665b... This gets expanded for reasons I don't understand to luks\x2d665b by systemd-cryptluks-generator when it generates the service name. So the '-' is now \x2d. A copy of that name gets handed to dracut-initqueue,but along the way something botches the de-escape and ends up with luksx2d665b If it had left the \ alone it would be OK.
