/etc/crypttab

In spite of having set the number of tries to infinite, there is only one try (sometimes, two? AFAIR) for entering the correct password. If that fails, system goes into emergency mode.

plymouth is not installed.

Is this the initrd prompt or a later one? (xmisc,yhome not being required for a boot, while swap may be)
Comment 2 Forgotten User 0Pa7LREnXl 2016-12-13 17:06:51 UTC
Swap is being set up with a random password with each boot. I don't know how to distinguish initrd from the later password request, but I'd guess there shouldn't be a question from initrd.

This is automated batch bugzilla cleanup.

The openSUSE 42.2 changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or you can still observe it under openSUSE Leap 15.0, please
feel free to reopen this bug against that version (see the "Version"
component in the bug fields), or alternatively open
a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
