The encryption modules are all available except for cryptd (config option CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRYPTD). Also enabled are CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM and CONFIG_DM_CRYPT (both as modules), so I suspect you just need to load the modules to get going. Please note - I built the kernel package(s) using Debian's default configurations except for ISO9660_FS, EXT2_FS, EXT3_FS, and REISER_FS options - These are compiled in to the kernel (perhaps XFS_FS should be too). > If you do not know without looking for that what is going on and you > should need more info, please write and i will do some additional checks. Sounds like you need to load the dm_crypt and aes modules - If any others are missing, let me know and I'll rebuild the kernel. Regards, Paul. |
