Package: loop-aes-source Version: 2.2d-2 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line *** Hello,
I encountered a bug using loop-aes. I used a complete new /lib/modules/`uname -a` directory and alsa the new loop-aes-source modules from unstable (the rest is sarge) Starting my system I got the following loop module loaded: thomas:/etc# lsmod | grep loop loop 16584 0 (this is the original loop module from the kernel _not_ the loop-aes modul) Because of this using encrypted partitions doesn't work. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /mnt/crypt/ Password: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel Also my encrypted swap isn't loaded encrypted, this might be a security hole. After rmmod loop and thinking the kernel guesses the right modul, I have the same situation. Only rmmod loop and modprobe loop gives me the correct modul. thomas:/etc# rmmod loop thomas:/etc# modprobe loop thomas:/etc# lsmod | grep loop loop 58828 0 This is of course very annoying. I have't a patch, but I can give a few perhaps helpful details: I have loop in my /etc/modules so it gets loaded on boot up. The file /lib/modules/`uname -a`/modules.dep has as last entry /lib/modules/2.6.8-sc/disabled/loop-orig.ko: thomas:/usr/src/linux# grep KMOD .config CONFIG_KMOD=y (automatic modul loading) Okay the easiest work-around is to rename loop-orig.ko to something like loop-orig.ko.old. So not ending upon .ko and there ignored by the kernel. I don't know if the loop-aes modul has any disadvantages compared to the original. I didn't wanted to use a higher severity, because often the mistake is in front of the monitor, but feel free to raise it.
