I want to install 12.04 Beta2 on a usb hard drive (physical HD not flash drive) with full disk encryption. I downloaded the alternate installer iso copied it to a usb flash drive using unetbootin to make a bootable usb drive.
I choose the guided partitioning option to create an encrypted LVM using the entire usb HD. When the installer got to the point of installing the unbuntu desktop I would get an error message saying an error had occurred. I retried a few times but got the same error at the same place.
After reading on the forums I found others had had this problem but no real solution was found. One suggestion was to re-download the iso and make sure the md5sum was correct.
I re-downloaded the iso, checked the md5sum and everything was good. I used unetbooting again to make a bootable usb flash drive from the iso and tried again. Now I get an error during the system install saying it can't download various modules.
Am I making some fundamental error I'm not aware of? Is there some other special steps I need to take to have it installed on an encrypted drive?
