Installation Destination manually encrypted partitions

Rocky Linux General

I’m trying to install rocky linux with text mode. During the installation I created LVM on LUKS manually.
use “fdisk” for created partitions
use “cryptsetup” for encrypt

I defined the mount point and format via text mode installation.

After I have saved. I received a message from the Installation Destination.
“The existing unlocked LURK device sda5 cannot be used for the installation without an encryption key specified”

How can I solve the “specify encryption key” issue during installation?

The message is exactly as it sounds. You performed manual LUKS work, which the installer cannot actually use. You can’t get around that without setting up your partition layout and LUKS either in the GUI installer or via kickstart.
