systemd seems to stuck on mounting an encrypted volume, when I set the init to /usr/sbin/systemd in grub.cfg,

I have one line in /etc/crypttab

secure /dev/sda8 /etc/cb.key

That works with original init program, but when I switched to systemd, it stuck at

[ OK ] Reached target Encrypted Volume

And it got the right device name, right mapper name, but just won't go on. Wait for like 60s, I got a timeout message.

How should I debug it?

I don't know the answer to this, but you could try submitting a "support request" for the systemd package on bugs.archlinux.org. – Alexander Nov 7 '12 at 9:56

There's a bug on systemd & LVM,

I run LVM on a crypted device, which systemd failed to detect. When I finally entered the sulogin interface, I found that vgchange -ay has no effects (It failed to detect the volume group), no idea why. But with legacy init scripts, that works.

Now I re-formatted the disk, and uses that partition directly, and the boot continues without problem.
