Encrypting boot partition Libvirt not showing the OS booting up

Hi, I have installed Debian Buster with encrypted LVM so apon installation my root partition is encrypted. So far so good but as soon as I encrypt the boot partition, after reboot the OS won't start. If I start the drive directly with qemu, it works but it looks like Libvirt is somehow not able to deel with it. What am I missing? -- John Doe

This is not enough information to diagnose the problem. We'll need the following: 1) Did you encrypt the partition using the debian installer 2) what vm XML you used: a) during installation b) when trying to finally boot the vm 3) what qemu command line you've used at the point you claim it worked 4) what is the error/final state when the VM fails to boot with libvirt
