I may have misread, we have a lot of depth to quotes here. There seem to be two 
issues, fedup on LUKS, and clean install looping asking for network. I may only 
see the network issue after fedup has been run, and I did find that if I write 
100MB of /dev/zero to the partitions I'm going to use (from rescue CD) no issues 
on clean install. There MAY be an issue with reading the partitions and saving 
data, don't care as long as it can be done.

I'm trying a yum upgrade in LUKS next week, I am taking a few days off from 
anything challenging to deal with real life. May wait and test more when the 
18->19 cycle comes.
