  I have found that anaconda can be buggy when dealing with encrypted
filesystems - this may or may not be your problem however.

  One bug seems to be that it uses the wrong UUID id when it creates the
luks data and so it fails to mount correctly. You can easily hand edit
the files and either put the correct UUID use a simpler scheme.

 See this post for example (scuse wrapped URL)


Anaconda had no trouble dealing with the encrypted filesystem. The disk is still there and readable. The problem was in the upgrade process. There were so many problems with dependencies that, after upgrading, the init scripts just hung after throwing a great many errors about missing libraries. I couldn't tell you which ones, there were so many errors, and they scrolled by so fast that I couldn't note them down.

I have booted off of the liveCD and mounted the disk using the howto I found here: http://feraga.com/node/51. I have been able to get all the data off the disk, and am in the process of re-installing f11 from scratch.
