I managed to install Squeeze (6.0, few days after it got released) on raid1 and
LVM2, with encryption (except for /boot), but I remember that I spent a lot of
time getting it right in the installer interface (and cursing a lot about how
can an installer in 2011 be so obtuse :) ).
I think I may even have restarted the installation once or twice, because I
configured something in the disk setup incorrectly, and the interface did not
allow me to revert the change.
So, yes, it is possible, but not easy. :)
