Description Michael Catanzaro 2016-05-02 19:39:13 UTC
Description of problem: Using the F24 Alpha Workstation install media, I selected the Dvorak keyboard layout and set a disk encryption password using that keyboard layout. When booting the computer for the first time after installation, my password was rejected each time I typed it, and I could not boot the computer.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F24 Alpha


How reproducible: I tested three installations, happens every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select keyboard layout first
2. Then visit the partitioning spoke, select disk encryption, enter password...
3. Finish install, reboot computer

Actual results: Password is repeatedly rejected


Expected results: Computer boots


Additional info: This is a regression from F23. I wound up installing F23 on this computer instead.

Note that I have not tested with Qwerty, so I'm not positive that keyboard layout is to blame for this. But in the past we had a similar bug where disk encryption required a Qwerty keyboard layout because keyboard layout wasn't being saved in the initramfs... so I'm inclined to suspect a similar issue.
