One of the requirements of encrypting root partition using build-initrd.sh script from loop-AES package is that kernel must include built-in support for all devices and file systems required by /boot and root file systems. > I managed to compile the loop.o module and I can encrpty CDs or partitions > like swap on /dev/hda3 and such.
