Encrypted volume install with Dracut instead of mkinitcpio

I am following the guide here to set up an encrypted system: https://discovery.endeavouros.com/encrypted-installation/lvmonluks/2021/03/

Everything is going great, however the guide references mkinitcpio instead of dracut in step 11. Is there anything that needs to be done in the dracut config file?

dracut should automatically detect the need for lvm and resume as long as your build your boot images with those in your running system.

I left dracut alone in step 11.

Iā€™m also running into an issue with dracut in step 14.
I followed the step but omitted mkinitcpio -p linux.
I followed the remaining steps and when I boot, from my new install, it stops at Reached target Basic System.

I must be missing something here, any advice?

You needed to replace that step with sudo dracut-rebuild to build the new boot images.

That did the trick, thanks!

I also found some issues in my grub config file that I corrected.
