[Bug 1066480] Re: 12.10 installer don't show encrypted partitions

[Khalid Aziz]

Workaround in the release notes for this bug does not work. After
installation, when I boot the system up, it never asks for a passphrase
to unlock the encrypted volume. init script waits for root device and
finally gives up dropping me into initramfs.  Last error messages are:

"Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat .........
.....................................
ALERT! /dev/mapper/concerto-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"

Bug description:
  Hallo
  Testing 20121014 amd64 desktop in virtual env.
  in the disk was already present an encrypted Ubuntu installation, and when I try to install a second Ubuntu it don't consider the encrypted partitions, suggesting to erase all the disk instead to instal along side.
  But I want a free system for my son and an ecrypted one for my work on the same disk.
  Attached screenshot
  Thanks
  Fabio

  We can also see that the partition is regularry mounted and showed in
  launcher.
