I can see that with the first version, because it chose to use
"Guided - use entire disk"; though I don't know why the installer
doesn't offer the combination of the first option "Guided - use the
largest continuous free space" and the later one with "… set up
encrypted LVM".
However, the second method uses manual partitioning of the disks with
gdisk, so I don't see why sda should not contain a(nother) FAT
partition which is ignored. If the sda partition numbers are all
increased by one, which command is it that would prevent the
method from working?
