Issue Description

Some users report LUKS encryption unlock failures during boot, getting stuck at the password prompt even with correct credentials.

Symptoms

  • Installation completes successfully with encryption enabled
  • System boots to LUKS password prompt
  • Password input fails (appears to accept input but doesn't unlock)
  • Issue persists regardless of keyboard layout
  • Manual installation without encryption works fine on same systems

Current Workaround

Users can complete installation using manual installation method without encryption.

Investigation Needed

This appears to be a hardware-specific compatibility issue with the automated LUKS setup in archinstall, possibly related to initramfs configuration or driver loading during early boot.
