partition layout info

Description of problem:
I made a fresh installation of fedora. / is on plain, unencrypted partition on SSD, /var is inside of encrypted lvm on hdd.

During install i configured partition layout for /, /boot and /var accordingly. No further modification was done from standard installation.

System does not boot properly, i get to enter the luks password, but the mount services eventually fail.

I'm attaching info file with my partition layout, and log of systemd startup.

Worth noting is that plymouth fails to start up. My graphics hardware is ati radeon x1300 pro (rv515) and hyundai q770 monitorĀ·

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 15, straight off install media.

How reproducible:
Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create encrypted lvm, make volume for /var
2. Create unencrypted partition for /
3. Setup accordingly in installer
4. Install
5. Reboot
  
Actual results:
I wait ~90seconds, get dropped into emergency shell. 

Also, no plymouth graphical boot. (It worked on the install media, though).

Expected results:
First installation wizard should start up.

So the 'encrypted lvm' in this case means the PV is encrypted.
This looks like bug 708684, fixed in systemd-26-5.fc15.
Make sure you enable the Fedora 15 Updates repo during installation and it should work. If not, we can reopen this bug.
