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.

Our Diskdrake and installer stumble on our own Mageia Live!

Clearing MBR before install fixes the problem.
