I just did an installation myself and it worked, but of course images require a lot more testing, especially for the exotic things (lvm, encryption, automatic installs, all new features such as pxe booting, etc).

Hello Dieter, I grabbed the latest netinstall image for i686, and I tried to do an install with dm_crypt. It failed. AIF tossed the following error message when it tried to make a filesystem on /dev/mapper/cryptoroot: Error: process_filesystem needs a partition as $1.
Here is what I specified during the "manually configure block devices" stage: * /dev/sda1 mounts on /boot, and has an fs type of ext4. * /dev/sda2 is swap. * /dev/sda3 is of type dm_crypt, and the label is cryptoroot. * /dev/mapper/cryptoroot contains an ext4 filesystem, and it mounts on /. I also indicated that all filesystems should be re-created.
PS. This is my first attempt to use dm_crypt, so it's possible that I may have made a mistake.

it looks like you did everything right (except i'm not sure if grub will work with /boot on ext4). if it died with that error, it looks as if /dev/mapper/cryptoroot did not exist. can you tell me which files are there in /dev/mapper ? is there a /var/log/aif/aif.logfile you can send/pastebin me?
