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.

Not once does it ask me for the password to decrypt my home partition, it just waits until it fails.
That's the first thing I tried! No effect at all. Even when I enter a wrong password, nothing happens. It doesn't echo, but I think it wouldn't echo anyways.
Also, there's not enough text that comes after decrypting the root for anything to get lost in the scrollback buffer.
