I observed similar behaviour. I was able successfully use old FC16 rescue disk. It automatically prompted for the password and mounting file system under /mnt/sysimage as expected. Hope it helps. Didn't want to create new bz. Also present in in F20 Alpha: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/20-Alpha-RC4/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-20-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso Cannot find a fully updated F20.Xfce install mix of mbr and gui partition types all luks, except boot. Anaconda 20.18.1 from netinstall. Should this be a blocker? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Rescue_mode : "The rescue mode of the installer must start successfully and be able to detect and mount an existing default installation." (I guess not, since encrypted isn't default.) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Beta_Release_Criteria#Rescue_mode : "The rescue mode of the installer must be able to detect and mount any installation performed according to the applicable criteria, and provide a shell with access to utilities capable of performing typical recovery operations." It looks like it might be a Beta Blocker. The associated test case is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_rescue_mode I test this on each compose, but normally only on an unencrypted minimal install, booting from the DVD (though it's just as easy to boot from the netinst, which I always have anyway). Probably not for Alpha, but Beta yes, as many still use luks. I didn't have the chance to test rescue on F18\F19. Proposing as F20 Beta Blocker, and changing Version to 20. Discussed this in 2013-09-25 Blocker Review Meeting [1]. While this could be a blocker, it isn't clear if nfs repos are working yet and only one is required to work for beta. Will revisit when we have more data on nfs repos.

That was in reference to 1009809. Sorry for the comment spam. Discussed in the 2013-09-25 Blocker Review Meeting [1]. Acknowledged as an AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F20 beta criterion for systems with encrypted partitions: "The rescue mode of the installer must be able to detect and mount any installation performed according to the applicable criteria, and provide a shell with access to utilities capable of performing typical recovery operations."
