Any special cryptsetup options? Or is this a standard LVM+cryptsetup
installation as setup by the debian-installer?

In your initial email you had
"Starting /tmp..."

which looks like /tmp would be on a different partition?

Have your removed "quiet" from the command line?
with systemd.log_level=debug you should get a a *lot* more output.

Try to explain in as much detail as possible how your installation differs from
a standard installation, and custom configurations.
