Hi,

Maybe Kickstart has more options about encrypted devices ...
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/fr-FR/html/s1-kickstart2-options.html

I use kickstart file for auto-installations (i used preseed but i needed 
more options like calculating disk size for patitioning, using variables 
too ...).

I work on 9.10 and kickstart options avout ext4 are not implemented yet. 
The rest works fine for me.

I could send you my kickstart files if you need it.
