I tried encrypted root on FC4. Worked ok for me.

One problem I encountered was that Fedora installer adds some silly mount
options to /etc/fstab file. Normal mount program does not understand them
and tries to pass those mount "options" to the kernel file system code. File
system code does not like them either, so it aborts the mount.

Does "make tests" work on the loop-AES source directory? If there are
problems with key setup or such, that test script should report problem.

Looks like random junk == bad key setup.

What does "losetup /dev/loop3" say? It should say "multi-key-v2" 

What does "strings -a /sbin/losetup | grep multi-key" say?
