The problem is that the 2.6.16-7 version of linux-image-2.6.16* accidentally changed the kernel ABI (and so should have been named linux-image-2.6.16-2-686) and lead to problems loading modules like you experienced. The kernel maintainers noticed this quickly and have reverted the ABI change in 2.6.16-8, so that existing modules (like loop-aes-*) should work again with kernels version 2.6.16-8. (I think linux-image-2.6.16-1-686 in unstable is still version 2.6.16-7. The new version will hopefully be in the archive by tomorrow and fix this problem.) cheers, Max
