I unlocked the partition when Anaconda asked. I wanted to create a *new* VG to install to, but it checked the *old* encrypted PV partition by default, as well as the new free one... I'm following a few interesting encryption related threads here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2008-October/msg00098.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2008-October/msg00069.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2008-November/msg00068.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2008-November/msg00049.html I'm going to test again with a newer anaconda than what is in Preview to see if any of this behavior has changed/improved. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
