Linux for many years as supported encrypting most partitions on your system,
with the exception of /boot./boot contains the basic/initial BOOT configuration
of your system... that means, by definition, it must be discernable---and thus
cannot be encrypted. Without an un-encrypted /boot partition, there isn't
sufficient intelligence for the physical computer to get booted up.

Subject: /boot and encrypted partitions?
I was luck enough to be bitten by this issue (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212907 ) when attempting to do a
clean install of F22. I copied all of my data off and then tried manually
setting things up as separate partitions (instead of in an LVM) but it kept
telling me that /boot couldn't be on a LUKS partition. The config I had was
/home was encrypted and / was encrypted but then the biosboot partition was not
encrypted, and all 3 were standard partitions. Is this something that's just
not supported? Or was I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Dave
