PopOS encrypted disk dont boot - initramfs popos

initramfs /dev/mapper/data-root does notexist

pop os encrypted disk dont boot, tried reinstalling it but no success.

initramfs shows with busybox, type exit and see the error

Worked for me - https://askubuntu.com/a/286383

I got it fixed!!! For future generations so you don't have to go through the agonizing days and endless hours that I did:

Firstly, I was able to get the system to boot from the (initramfs) prompt by typing the following (I used this forum page as a crutch):

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 sda5_crypt
lvm vgchange -a y
exit

Tried this, but no success https://support.system76.com/articles/bootloader/
