On an openSUSE 11.3 laptop, I set up all hard disk partitions (in the easiest case just root and swap) as encrypted partitions using luks as described in http://en.opensuse.org/SBD:Encrypted_root_file_system
Uh, that article should probably be removed. The preferred method to have an encrypted root is to just click the checkbox in yast during installation.
I strongly speak against removing that article -- at least until YaST supports encryptet root! After reading your post yesterday I again tried encrypting root via YaST, and YaST refused. In case Carlos is right about the only way to do it with YaST being using encrypted LVM, then at least YaST should tell so in its refusal note. As I do not like LVM either, I still would appreciate articles like this one to remain there as long as YaST cannot do the appropriate steps on its own.
