Installing 32-bit Kubuntu 18.04 encrypted LVM on 2 disks fails

[Howard Moreland]

Using daily build from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20180414/bionic-desktop-i386.iso

Installing on ThinkPad X41 with two drives. Seemed to install, on reboot got black screen with blinking cursor top left. Did not ask for encryption password when finishing.

Installing on same system with only one drive worked correctly. There, ending installation asked for encryption password to finish.

At start of installation, both drives were empty FAT32. After installation sdb was in the logical volume but still FAT32. sdb is in a bay in the docking station for the laptop.
