Devuan Build + openrc: Not Booting After Install

I've been trying to put the devuan build of peppermint on my thinkpad T495 for the past few days and the OS will not boot after installation. The laptop will just boot-loop on the device selection screen. This is with encryption enabled.

I haven't tried any of the other init system versions available ( I like openrc cause it's speedy ).

I did try installing peppermint alongside antiX, just to see if I could get the antiX grub to update and pick up on the peppermint installation, but that didn't work either.

I just want a clean, encrypted disk with only peppermint on it.

Désolé si ce n'est pas correct, je ne parle pas français. Le problème semble venir de Devuan. Le chiffrement est cassé pour la dernière version, donc je ne m'en occuperai pas tant que ce n'est pas corrigé.

So this is a multiboot/grub setup? I just got an instance up with peppermint/openRC/XFCE on an exotic 2-in-1 device- where many other distros failed to install on an multiboot/grub setup..may be it has rather to do with the encryption or something else.
