Can you please share a core dump to see the cause of the crash? On my Manjaro 22 VM, I don't see any possibility to install Kernel 6.4.10-hardened, the closest is 6.4.9-1 and no crash happens when it is used. image

For a better idea of why it crashes, you could run it through gdb.

gdb veracrypt
run

If prompted to download additional symbols for libraries, hit yes. The program should launch and you can reproduce the crash.

set logging on
thread apply all bt

Hit enter and type quit to exit. You should have a "gdb.txt" in the working directory, there shouldn't be anything sensitive in it, but verify it, and you can for example paste it here.

Your VeraCrypt binary most likely won't have debugging symbols enabled, but a partial backtrace is better than nothing.
