Hi,

Perhaps the issue that I am experiencing is related with this one.

I am trying to install Kali 1.0.3 AMD64 in a HP elitebook 2530p and if I choose full LVM encryption with /home in a separate partition the installation completed successfully but after the reboot the volume group is not there and the system is not able to find the logical volume root to boot the system.

I tried around 4 times with normal installation and graphic installation and always happened the same so I check if the pv,vg and lv was created in the installation and yes, if I ran in a different tty the pv is there and in /dev/mapper also there is the files.

I don't know what is the problem but in Debian its ok.

If I select standard LVM without encryption with /home as separate partition everything completed fine and I am able to boot the system and use the computer.

Is a little annoying as I would like to have the notebook encrypted.

Thanks in advance.

I tried to reproduce this issue and I managed to reproduce it, but it wasn't a bug, it's just that when you do this your root partition is only a fraction of the disk size and in my case it wasn't enough to let the installation complete. Looking at the logs (on the 4th console, try CTRL+ALT+F4) I got a clear error message "No space left on device".

I then retried with a bigger disk (50Gb resulting in 10Gb for / with the automated partitioner) and the install completed successfully. Given this I'll close this bug as a non-issue.

If the issue you had is not a disk full, then feel free to reopen and to attach a screenshot of the errors on the fourth console.
