Ok after performing some testing. I can sadly say Calamares isn't ready for prime time. LVM support is severely lacking and broken. I can create an LVM PV and see LVM PVs, but I cannot control the actual partitioning inside the LVM group, you also cannot create an LVM group. This is not a KPMcore limitation. As kde partition manager can create LVM groups, and create partitions inside the LVM group. KPM seems to handle this slightly different though. First LVM PVs must be created then an LVM group made. Only then after its written to disk can you partition the LVM Group as it will finally appear under the devices list.
KPMcore doesn't recognize virtio devices :( . Working out of a VM? Drive better be emulated as SATA or no installs are gonna happen. LUKs is broke with current Sabayon setup. LUKs appears to 'work' as in creating and installing on encrypted drives, but the system will always complain that the luks encrypted device is not a valid root device and fails to boot. The default install with encryption seems to want to decrypt at GRUB allowing for even /boot encryption (which seems like a good idea to me). This is something we will need to consider before switching in the future. These currently are my only complaints as to what doesn't work. Since KPMcore has most of these capabilities (except virtio), its basically waiting on calamares to add the capabilities within the software. -Darksurf
