Hi, Finally I figured it out! I always thought the loop-AES and patch-int-2.4.x.0.bz2 patches were totally incompatible so I never even tried to use the loop-AES stuff since I've got many encrypted volumes which I really do not want to convert. Now it appears that just getting the loop-AES and ciphers packages and reading the included README file was enough to get everything working! :-) Yay! So, anyone still having problems mounting his encrypted filesystems with 2.4.22 or 2.6.0 kernels, get loop-AES even if you didn't use it before! (Actually, the README file included in loop-AES very cleary describes how to do just that.) I got the loop-AES-v2.0d.tar.bz2 package and the ciphers-v2.0d.tar.bz2 packages. Did a make in the both unpacked directories and loaded the cryptoloop, loop and loop_serpent modules. Patched the util-linux-2.12 unpacked directory with the patch included in the loop-AES tarball: patch -p1 <../loop-AES-v2.0d/util-linux-2.12.diff Did a make in the lib and mount directories. Ran the losetup: ./losetup -e serpent256 -H rmd160 -I 2 /dev/loop0 /dev/cdrom mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /cdrom And it worked just fine! :-D Regards, Alex ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
