Bug#767880: Debien-installer does not install lvm
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20150422+deb8u1
Followup-For: Bug #767880
Same problem here, though it only seems to appear in the graphical installer but not in text installer. And cryptsetup is also missing in initramfs.
Steps to reproduce:
I just reinstalled a system using a currently downloaded version debian-live-8.1.0-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso from USB stick.
I tried setting up the system using the graphical installer by clicking the installer icon on the desktop of the live system. I could create my encrypted disks (with LVM on top) using the partition tool provided by the installer. After the installation finished successfully I was unable to boot because initramfs was missing both LVM and cryptsetup.
I then tried the text installer provided on the same installation media, erased all data on the disk. I again created an encrypted disk with LVM on top. After installation Iwas able to boot the system without any trouble.
