Dear Maintainer,

Thank you very much for your efforts to make
Debian available to so many people.

I've been testing the installer.

The main reason I'm writing is that I seem to have
uncovered a (wait for ...) BUG!

   * What led up to the situation?

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

    1.) I burned 3 DVDs of the AMD64 Testing distribution
        dated October 7, 2019.

    2.) I installed from them, specifying

            UEFI,

            no network connection,

            Xfce instead of Gnome,

            No printer and

            guided configuration of an encrypted
            logical volume. I used the default
            configuration of

                all available space,

                root encrypted

                swap encrypted

                boot not encrypted

    3.) I rebooted

   * What was the outcome of this action?

        Volume group "<host name>-vg" not found
        Cannot process volume group logger-vg

        (The previous 2 lines were repeated about
        30 times>)

      Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device
      Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
       - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
         - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
       - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
      ALERT! /dev/mapper/<host name>--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!


      BusyBox v1.30.1.... (bla bla bla...)

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

        Xfce's login

Thanks,
Kingsley

Here's more info.

1.) Testing's installer worked when I asked it to
    create an UNencrypted logical volume.

2.) The 2019-09-08 Stable AMD64 distribution
    successfully installed an encrypted logical volume.

3.) Similar bug reports are

    #935973 and

    #927165.

Thanks,
Kingsley
