Description Ludwig Nussel 2013-03-07 16:19:29 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #808017 +++

This only affects installations in UEFI mode.
In the partitioning proposal when checking the option to use lvm (which is required for full disk encryption) YaST does not create a separate /boot partition. That means the kernel and initrd end up in the (potentially encrypted) lvm container, inaccessible to the boot loader. To get full disk encryption when using UEFI the partitioning has to be done manually.
