Wherever you have a "part" command in your kickstart, add --encrypted and --password options. In your case, part pv.100000 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda would become (still on the one line) part pv.100000 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda --encrypted --password HelloWorld See http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Instal lation_Guide/ch-kickstart2.html DO NOT forget the password!
