Glad you could recover… Can you please attach the installer logs? /var/log/installer/syslog in particular. Hopefully it's going to help us find out what went wrong. I know nothing about encrypted LVM (besides having used/tested it with automated partitioning). Possibly, this bit didn't work: | cbrulebois@Cygnus:~/debian-installer/packages$ cat partman-lvm/finish.d/aptinstall_lvm | #! /bin/sh | set -e | | if grep -q " device-mapper$" /proc/misc; then | # Avoid warnings from lvm2 tools about open file descriptors | export LVM_SUPPRESS_FD_WARNINGS=1 | | if pvdisplay | grep -iq "physical volume ---"; then | apt-install lvm2 || true | fi | fi Not sure /proc/misc changed lately, and lvm2 didn't migrate to testing recently, so I'm not sure what could explain a failure here, TBH.
