During LUKS boot I get:
“error: no such cryptodisk found , perhaps a needed disk or cryptodisk module is not loaded.
Press any key to continue …”
But it boots up normally after that, whether I press a key or not.
What’s going on here? Is there a need to do anything? My (LUKS enabled) Manjaro is installed to a USB disk. Hard Disk on PC is a Windows disk but I guess it plays no role since I boot through USB when I start (LUKS) Manjaro
Thanks
Have you tried following the update announcement wiki, or the forum search?

GRUB, LUKS and full disk encryption: ‘no such cryptodisk found’
Following grub ’s update, new configuration may be needed to be manually applied:
Based on the manual , unlike filesystem UUIDs, UUIDs for encrypted devices must be specified without dash separators. So check /boot/grub/grub.cfg
for entries like cryptomount -u 3722dfb2-3b32-414b-bd59-4329fa92b6a9
and try to remove the dash separators. You have to redo that whenever you update a kernel or call update-grub
on your own. You can read more about it here
A message “no such cryptodisk found” may appear on the following reboot, but should not prevent you from continuing by typing any key. This happens if you forgot to remove the dashes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
after update-grub
got called.
We may add a alpm-hook to grub package to do that monkey job for you automatically. As an alternative you may reinstall grub , as the newer version can handle both cases, including the dashes.

I could not understand those posts. But thanks.
I can boot. Booting is not the issue. The issue is the error message that I posted previously, it pops up during boot, but boot proceeds normally.
Possible solution:
How about if I remove # from the following in grub.cfg?
The # is there on its own, should it be there? Is this causing the error?
Uncomment to enable booting from LUKS encrypted devices
#GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
Removing the # from the above and updating grub.cfg and rebooting removed the error message during boot and everything is normal now.
But you did understood them, because …
