Hello-, I used the newest loop-aes.README (10.April 2006) to get my root-fs encrypted but failed with something like " no console found". I used debian testing, but the newest loop-aes-relevant packages from unstable, which I successfully use in multikey-mode on several other partions on another computer and on the test-laptop for this try. I managed to make a root-fs with dm-crypt via the ERPOSS4-Distri on the test-laptop but I don want to use dm-crypt and, additionally, I have good reasons not to trust the german government or any of his fuzzys, (and I do not want to give a really long passphrase 4 times because dm-crypt do not feed random-PW for swap). I heard rumors about udev, =>2.6.15 and changes of ramdisk........ I worked with the readme precisely point for point but sometimes I used some *.deb instead of the tarball if I remember well. Can anyone, especially when called Jari, give a hint ? regards, Reverend - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
