Yes, I used multcount=16 unmaskirq=1 using_dma=1. IDE settings should not affect loop driver at all. I ran some stress tests overnight using kernel 2.4.18, loop_serpent with 256 bit keys and 660 MB data set. I did not see any errors on my tests. This looks like some sort of compile problem. Could you post exact commands that you used to compile and install your kernel, loop.o and loop_serpent.o modules? Also include output from loop-AES and ciphers Makefiles. What gcc version are you using? Can you double check that you actually booted the newly compiled kernel instead of some older version?
