Thanks Jason. Just to make sure my suspicion is correct, can you please give me the output of "systemctl --all|grep swap" and give me all files that turn up in "find /run/systemd/generator* | grep swap"?

I figure the

Apr 22 11:34:38 jason-Kudu-Professional kernel: Adding 4194300k swap on /dev/sda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:4194300k SSFS

comes from systemd-gpt-generator that picks up the raw/bogus /dev/sda3 partition, and as it's slightly faster it's causing this:

Apr 22 11:38:31 username-Kudu-Professional systemd-cryptsetup[645]: Loading of cryptographic parameters failed: Invalid argument

which makes cryptsetup fail.

FTR, GPT will be used (by default) if you install on an EFI system.
