"no such cryptodisk found" error without breaking boot-up ?!

It is always nice to open a support thread for things which is a hot topic right now and gets even discussed for days by now …

So here again:

  • /etc/default/grub needs to been checked for GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="cryptodisk part_gpt part_msdos" and GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
  • grub menu needs to been updated via update-grub

That should be the only thing you may need. Installing grub to MBR/UEFI always should be the last resort unless you want to have security updates or the latest grub version on your system. If your system however has a broken bootloader installation you may need to restore it. Read the linked discussion thread for more info about further solutions.
