Hi! I´am in serious problems! I can´t get root partition encryption under the Linux SuSE kernel from version 9.0 of the distro. Under 8.2 I had no problems with your loop-aes - worked really fine! Since I bought an AMD64 and a Serial ATA drive Linux handles the disk like a SCSI device which means that root is on /dev/sda2 and unencrypted /boot on /dev/sda1. Of course Linux uses an initrd to boot and setup that "SCSI" device. I managed to compile the loop.o module and I can encrpty CDs or partitions like swap on /dev/hda3 and such. But THE problem is the build-initrd.sh from loop-aes. I haven´t the foggiest idea on how to make grub load loop.o plus the needed modules for that SCSI Emulation. Some files like lib_ata.o, sd_mod.o, ext3.o, jbd.o and such. As I use SuSE you can see that I have no knowledge about Linux, I just do whats listed in your documentations files - and I worked great so far. So please, can you give me advice? How did other manage to encryt /root on a SCSI or Serial ATA harddisk?
