Thanks to everyone for offering help, my system is now running fine.
A couple of notes in case somebody might find them useful:
1. grub.conf needs editing, that is I had to remove the rhgb option
2. selinux seemed to be complaining so I disabled that
3. the luksopen script from the url in my original posting might have a bug
in it (I am not much of a shell script guru) because when it reaches the
point where it attempts to open and mount the encrypted partitions, it will
just skip them even if I press 'y'. So I commented that out and explicitly
inserted the appropriate commands.

There is an error in the script involving the 'read' statement, where he
is prompting for the open and mount Y/N response (pardon the line
wrapping here):
# ask whether to open the device or not
read -p "Next device in list is \"$dev\". Do you want to open and mount
it? (y/N): "
# skip device if desired
case "$answer" in
In the bash shell, the default variable assignment is $REPLY, whereas he
is using $answer. I did not note this in my own use of the script, as I
had made some modifications to it for my own application.
If you modify the 'read' statement, by adding 'answer' to the end of it
(again, note line wrapping here):
read -p "Next device in list is \"$dev\". Do you want to open and mount
it? (y/N): " answer
That modification should solve the problem by explicitly assigning the
response to $answer. It will then be properly read in the 'case' statement.
I posted a comment about it on the wiki just now, so hopefully he will
edit the script as required.
BTW, out of curiosity, did you modify /etc/fstab? Just wondering about
confirming new behavior, if any, in FC5, besides the LUKS changes to
gnome-mount, etc.
HTH,
