Did I do something wrong?I had the same issue when using the AMD64 squeeze installer a few days ago. I think it is a bug, probably the same as reported in #534248. J.
I had a mistake on the original email: It was the testing (squeeze) installer of AMD64, not the Lenny. It looks it is the bug you say - I sent some extra info to reproduce it.
The non-technical workaround: Burn a lenny installer, set up the encrypted lvm, install just the base system, and the upgrade to testing.
By the way, I *think* the problem was introduced by a new feature that they are trying to introduce: The partitioning of the logical volumes. After the installer crashed, I could see in /dev/mapper the logical volume foo of the volume group bar I had created, as well as a partition like thing:
/dev/mapper: bar-foo bar-foop1Maybe I am wrong as to the development's intention. Anyway, does it make any sense to partition a logical volume?
