Im running knoppix/debian and trying to compile my own 2.4.20 kernel. After doing the usual patching of the vanilla kernel; #cd /usr/src/linux #zcat /home/david/downloads/patch-int-2.4.20.1.gz | patch -p1 #patch -p1 < ~/loop-jari-2.4.20.0.patch #bunzip2 /home/david/downloads/loop-AES-v1.7c.tar.bz2 | patch -p1 #tar xvf /home/david/downloads/loop-AES-v1.7c.tar | patch -p1 And build in all cryptoapi cryptoloop ciphers etc etc as modules When I execute losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 ~/cryptfile I get; " ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument" It works if I use xor and the pre-built knopix/debian kernel works fine but any kernel (I've tried several) I build doesnt. Im guessing its an issue with cipher-aes but I dont know.
