Linux

I just installed a Debian 13 Trixie system on my laptop. I have 5 GPT partitions on 1 terabyte SSD and NO LVM!

partition layout

sda1 vfat 256M   EFI system partition
sda2 ext4 512M   boot partition
sda3 LUKS 460G   encrypted root
--   sda3_crypt  root partition, unlocks with passphrase
sda4 LUKS 465G   encrypted home
--   sda4_crypt  home partition, unlocks with passphrase
sda5 LUKS 4G     encrypted swap
--   sda5_crypt  swap partition, unlocks with keyfile

GRUB works fine, it loads the kernel, then I enter the password to decrypt my root partition. It decrypts correctly, then hangs for 1 minute 30 seconds.

After that, I get this error:

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mapper-sda4_crypt.device - /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for home.mount - /home/
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for local-fs.target - Local File Systems.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for systemd-fsck@dev-mapper-sda4_crypt.service - File System Check on /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt.

Not once does it ask me for the password to decrypt my home partition, it just waits until it fails.
