ALERT! /dev/mapper/x230--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

I installed Debian 12 over 11 today. I have been using two disks where LUKS and LVM were configured, making it work as a single disk. I tried to reuse them, but the installation failed at boot. So I did a fresh install encrypting both disks and creating an LV to use both disks as a single one. The boot fails again throwing a few lines, one of which is:

Code:

ALERT! /dev/mapper/x230--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
I reinstalled Debian 12 again, but on one disk using the default "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" option. I chose to have separate root and home partition on the disk. The boot was successful. I then followed this tutorial to encrypt the second disk and add it to the existing home partition. The size of the home partition increased and I could use it too.

However, even after updating initramfs and updating the /etc/crypttab file, the boot fails throwing the same error. This time, however, I luksOpened the second encrypted drive using the cryptsetup included with BusyBee. It now boots to the Debian I installed. The set up currently is that I have to manually unlock/open the second drive using crypttab in the busybee/initramfs shell every time I boot in.

Code:

Note that sda was recognised as sdc during the installation: hence sdc5_crypt.

Would love to hear what I am doing wrong?
