Machine: VirtualBox (but same problem with any machine) Processor: Core2 Memory: 2G Partitions: see image attached Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: I would like to install my Debian system into an encrypted root. This is the partition scheme: - hdb1: 128 MiB, ext2, /boot - hdb2: 2 GiB, swap - hdb3: remaining GiBs, dm-crypt/luks with inside the root partition formatted as ext3. The debian installer of Lenny refuses to use the encrypted partitions as / and so it's impossible to continue with installation. No problems with the installer of Etch. See attached images for more details.
