LVM on LUKS with GPT on an HP 2530p

So, this is a short story telling about the journey of an arch linux installation on an HP 2530p.
The mission was clear, GPT, LVM and LUKS. The problem was the BIOS in the HP 2530p.
To keep it short, don't trust the documents, simple install a hybrid gpt/mbr), or follow my howto.
The so called documented UEFI boot is only working with windows but not with other UEFI systems. If you simple install a GPT without a hybrid MBR, you won't get a working system disk.
