Loop-AES does not require you to patch your kernel so it works with just about any stable kernel out there, including distro vendor kernels. However, before kernel module can be compiled, you have to recompile your kernel. This is needed so that kernel compile time generated files are present in the kernel source tree. Compiling modules requires those generated files to be present. Util-linux needs to be patched and recompiled but loop-AES' README file has good instructions for that. > I tried this with a Debian 3.0r0 stable and I haven't patches util-linux > but take the debian-packages. This doesn't work. I think the the patches > in the Debian Package are just for CryptoAPI. Right? You are better off recompiling loop-AES' util-linux for use with loop-AES. Debian's util-linux uses old version of CryptoAPI patch.
