I have try to setup a encrypted RAID1, the problem is
that the Installer create a new partitiontable in /dev/mapper/md(X)_crypt.

The system insn't installed in /dev/md(X)_crypt the target is now
/dev/mapper/md(X)_cryptp(X).

Workaround:

1. Setup all partitons.
2. create the crypt_devices
3. configure the crypt_devies (don't make partitons) only setup the Passphrase !!!
4. fomat the crypt_devices: ALT+F2 mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/md(X)_crypt ; now ALT+F1
5. select "BACK" and goto the Main-Menu, select "Partiton Disks"
    the freespace is now allocated on md(x)_crypt_devices

this workaround prevent that the Installer create a new Partitontable on the crypted devices.
