you do not mention your /boot partition, where is it? is it on a clear (ext3)
partition? grub cannot mount a encrypted partition.

I set up a F11 recently with LVM-over-dm-crypt. To do it, I followed a nice
guide found on the internet, basically you start with a live cd (the fedora
one), create the dm-crypt volume, mount it, create the LVM setup, start the
installation, mount all the stuff as it is supposed to be mount and it's done.


(probably grub ask about the root partition just coz it need it for stuff like
modules, logs, /dev and so on...)
