Description Warren Togami 2008-03-17 19:15:33 UTC 
1) rawhide live 20080317 attempted "Install to Disk" with weird layout:
/dev/sda1 30GB software RAID
/dev/sda2 30GB software RAID
/dev/sda3 256MB /boot
/dev/sda4 swap
/dev/md0 encrypted RAID1 with /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2.

KeyError: 'crypt_LUKS'

Rebooting into the same LiveUSB, anaconda crashes earlier when it sees the now
existing encrypted /dev/md0 from the previous attempt.
Comment 3 Warren Togami 2008-03-17 19:19:02 UTC 
anaconda-11.4.0.53-1.x86_64
Comment 4 Warren Togami 2008-03-17 19:46:18 UTC 
The first crash happens in F9 Alpha LiveUSB, but not the second crash.
Comment 5 Warren Togami 2008-03-20 17:04:55 UTC 
This is still broken in F9 Beta LiveUSB.  But interestingly, this type of
install works fine from a non-live anaconda install.

This is completely untested. Looks like at least a big step in the right
direction based on a quick look at the code.

anaconda.log

Got past the crash in Comment #1 with your one-liner patch.  But it crashed a
bit later.  Here is the anaconda.log from that crash.
Comment 9 David Lehman 2008-03-20 23:13:30 UTC 
Fix (path from comment #7) will be in anaconda-11.4.0.56-1.
Comment 10 David Lehman 2008-04-18 20:33:29 UTC 
My understanding is that this bug was fixed in anaconda-11.4.0.56-1.

Please reopen if that is not the case.
