Hi!
I did some manual testing of the live ALP ISO image [1] on real
hardware. I am using a Dell XPS 13 laptop. I have tried the 4 possible
variants the current storage proposal admits:
a) Installing over partitions
b) Installing over encrypted partitions
c) Installing over LVM volumes
d) Installing over encrypted LVM volumes
The installation was successful for all them, but I saw some details.
With the option b) the web UI gets stuck when there are 47 remaining
packages to install. I tried it twice with the same result. Anyway, the
installation actually finishes and the system boots. And with option d),
the encryption password is requested twice (by grub and kernel). I think
this is expected because, as far as I know, the patched grub in ALP only
supports the encrypted partitions scenario.
I will do more testing with encrypted partitions, because in some test
the system did not boot.
Regards,
Iván
