CentOS 8 kickstart with encrypted partition

[ttyz]

Hi support team,

I have been trying to automate my CentOS 8 installation (text mode) with encryption on partitions using the kickstart file but it hangs at storage configuration during installation.
I have read online that to achieve this, I needed to append a "--encrypted" parameter to the specified partition e.g,

Code: Select all

logvol /home --fstype="xfs" --size 4096 --vgname=centos --encrypted --passphrase=<password> 

Apparently this does not work for me when I included it in my kickstart, so I decided to try a manual install of CentOS 8 via the GUI with manual partition with the encrypt option checked for respective partition. Once the OS is installed, I proceed to copy out the anaconda-ks.cfg as a kickstart file for my automated install.

Having done this, it still hangs at storage configuration during installation.
Does this have anything to do with installation using text mode or GUI? What could be the other causes to this issue?
Thanks in advance for helping out!

The kickstart file that I generated with GUI installation looks like this.

Code: Select all
