zfs as root with luks on arch linux and the small trouble after upgrading the kernel

Everytime the kernel gets updated, my system only reaches the busybox afterwards.
Currently, I have no idea why this happens exactly. But at least, I know how to handle it.
The zfs module is loaded, so all you need to do is to execute

zpool import -f 
, followed by an
zpool export 
.
It looks like there is a problem with exporting the pool while rebooting, or maybe an error while importing. It is marked as "not exported correctly", that is why booting fails. After the two commands from above, you can enter
reboot
and everything should be fine again.
