 > Just tried out the gremlins new version, "cryptsetup-s6 20200413-1", 
and it didn't fix the boot issue.  It did fix the echo and the 
--allow-discards ones...  I'm still not getting prompted/requested for 
the password to decrypt the partition.

Hmm, that's disappointing. I think the root of the issue is the 
cryptsetup stuff being called in shell within the execline script. I 
think I will just try redoing the script completely to be all in shell 
and no execline (it's way too complicated to actually write in execline).

 > @dudemanguy, you mentioned you used a mkinitcpio hook, but I'm 
already using it in order to decrypt the root partition.  Is there a way 
to achieve the same with a non root partition?

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know. My setup was LVM on LUKS so the hook 
unlocked the entire device which was made up of different logical volumes.

Certainly, I'll ping you when I get something new up in the repos.
