seems like modprobe in initramfs is silent for non-existant modules even with the -v (--verbose) commandline option. please check the following commands and compare the output: (initramfs) modprobe -vl cbc kernel/crypto/cbc.ko (initramfs) modprove -v cbc insmod /lib/modules/2.6.30-1-amd64/kernel/crypto/cbc.ko (initramfs) cat /proc/modules | grep cbc cbc 3776 0 - Live 0xffffffffa015b000 and additionally please send me your kernel .config. greetings, jonas
