In text mode System to upgrade screen crops text when used with encrypted disk

Created attachment 1127597 [details] screenshot 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.
