[Bug 2008892] Re: "Gave up waiting for root file system device" after fresh installation of Ubuntu 22.04

[Floris Luiten]

** Description changed:

  After running the 22.04 installer, my laptop would restart and after
  seeing the initial loading screen I'm dropped to a busybox shell. It
  makes no difference what boot option I use from my UEFI or installing
  with or without disk encrpytion.
  
  The installer finds my disk without problems, but afer rebooting the
  Ubuntu screen hangs for around a minute before dropping me into a
  busybox shell.
  
  In this shell I do the following:
  
  ```
  # ls /dev/mapper
  control           isw_behfgagcfc_ASUS_OS
  
  # kpartx -av /dev/mapper/isw_behfgagcfc_ASUS_OS
  add map isw_behfgagcfc_ASUS_OS1 (253:1): 0 1048576 linear 253:0 2048
  add map isw_behfgagcfc_ASUS_OS2 (253:2): 0 3500032 linear 253:0 1050624
  add map isw_behfgagcfc_ASUS_OS3 (253:3): 0 495579136 linear 253:0 4550656
  
  # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/isw_behfgagcfc_ASUS_OS3 WHYEVER
  Enter passphrase for /dev/mapper/isw_behfgagcfc_ASUS_OS3: ***
  
  # exit
  ```
  
  After which the Ubuntu loading screen re-appears and I have to enter the
  disk decrypt key again. Then my system boots fine, but I think it's a
  bug to have these commands to manually every time.
  
  If I install without disk-encryption, I still have to run "kpartx -av
  /dev/mapper/isw_behfgagfc_ASUS_OS" in the busybox shell before I'm able
  to continue.
  
  Attached the log from apport inside the finally booted Ubuntu
  installation with disk-encryption on.
+ 
+ PS: The same error occurs when upgrading from from 21.10 to 22.04.
