there more similar errors.

i've checked uuids of partitions in /etc/fstab correct. looks kernel has configuration options required systemd. wrong then?

some information on system follows.

i had same problem after upgrade ubuntu 16.10.

first possible solution

i found probable solution in systemd issue 3446 iztok jeras installed udev (sudo apt install -y udev).

it didn't fix me permanently. next boot successfull after ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure udev ran again next boot time.

if installing udevdoesn't work either may consider participating in open systemd issue on launchpad.

second possible solution

add selinux=1 enforcing=0 yout kernel parameter. there seem bug in cases helped (it didn't me though)

i have same (unsolved) symptoms , can't fix them on system. seems there many reasons these error messages (crypto-setup seems 1 of them not relevant in case).

the strange thing booting works 1 of ten times in case. might dependency issue in case.
