Description of problem:

When performing a second install on a system with encrypted disk anaconda asks you whether you want to do a fresh install or upgrade the existing system. In text mode some of the text is cropped out of the screen, see attached screenshot.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create system with encrypted disk. I have

swap - encrypted on raw partition
2 raid members, encrypted forming /dev/md0 formatted as PV
1 PV encrypted
1 VG, containing 1 LV for /, also encrypted

2. Start a second install, pass "text" on command line
3. 

Actual results:
When anaconda reaches the screen "System to upgrade" some of the text is cropped out.

Expected results:
All text is visible

Additional info:

The problem seems to be that the root partition is identified via UUID and is too long. If I use a default LVM + encryption partitioning after entering the passphrase in anaconda it shows the root volume as /dev/VolGroup-lv_root which
fits nicely into the screen.
