Description Morgan Leijström 2020-12-18 02:42:07 CET 
Description of problem:
1) Grub install fail.  See attached "bug"

2) Rescue mode:
   successfully unlocks LUKS, and scans LVM, and writes:

"dmcrypt: found mapper/crypt_sdb8 type  with root device sdb8"

   Note double space after "type"!   And then:

"Could not find your root device :-(."

   Hmph.




Attempted to do conventional install to USB stick.
Installer 8beta2 official, 64 bit, on another USB stick

Our Diskdrake and installer stumble on our own Mageia Live!

Clearing MBR before install fixes the problem.
