when I try to install to my "disk" (M.2 NVMe), if file system encryption is
enabled, it hangs at "Creating luks on /dev/nvme0n1p6". I let it sit there
for 20 minutes with no progress made.
If I install with file system encryption disabled, it installs fine.
Maybe this is more fallout from the RDRAND problem?
Probably. I was having a similar issue related to encryption that was
due to json-c using rdrand:

It wasn't just installation, it failed to boot. I worked it around
using a patched json-c package until the motherboard vendor released a
fixed BIOS.
