Manjaro install fails with encrypted swap

Hi

I tried to install manjaro, as I have done before, with separate /boot and encrypted root and swap. When rebooting the system asks me for my passphrase, which I enter, and then I see 3 dots. Alt + F1 does not give me a console, 3 dots for eternity. I did chroot from a live CD into the partition and did pacman -Syyu, it downloaded 2GB, including new Kernel version (6.12), and reported no flaws, but the problem remained. 3 dots for eternity.

What did solve the problem was to install without a swap, then the system would boot and I then manually added a swap, with a keyfile though for automatic decryption upon booting. Now everything runs fine.

You might want to see if you can reproduce the error, and maybe fix this.

Regards
