Hi, here's a report of my experience; please let me know if I need to open individual bugs against packages (and which packages). I installed using "guided, use whole disk with encrypted LVM", which worked flawlessly. I then repartitioned, installed Vista (leaving unpartitioned space), then tried the same CD again. I installed using "manual" partitioning, made an encrypted LVM, and had two issues: 1. somehow /etc/crypttab wasn't written and the initrd didn't start the crypto. Not sure if this was because I added another logical drive after I setup the encrypted volume and LVM inside of it. I saw a warning about not making changes to "outside" partitions after setting up an encrypted volume, and was surprised the menu let me continue anyway. I guess the warning indicates a known bug. I was able to get booted up from the initrd by invoking "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 sda7_crypto" followed by "lvm" "vgscan" "vgchange -ay" and "exit". After booting, I was able to repair the problem by putting "sda7_crypto /dev/sda7 none luks" into /etc/crypttab and running "update-mkinitramfs" 2. debian installer detected Vista and said it was putting it into the grub menu, but actually didn't (I had a grub menu of only GNU/Linux and GNU/Linux recovery mode). After booting, running update-grub correctly added two more boot options (Vista and a Windows Recovery Environment). Please copy me on replies as I'm not currently subscribed. Tril
