Have a look at the output of "cat /proc/crypto" (may be long, you may want to pipe it into less or a file). The md5 entry looks something like this: name : md5 driver : md5-generic module : kernel priority : 0 refcnt : 1 type : digest blocksize : 64 digestsize : 16 > And if I try this: > # ./cryptsetup create --cipher=aes --hash=plain aaa /dev/myvg/lvol0 > > It works but alert another error. > sh: /sbin/udevsettle: No such file or directory This seems to indicate a problem with /dev/myvg/lvol0, which is probably generated by udev. Maybe the udev installation is broken or the version is too new/old? Sorry, I do not really understand udev at this time. > Did I have missed any lib file or wrongly configured any thing? If this is a monolitic kernel you may have to compile md5 support into the kernel. If it is a module kernel, you may just have to load the md5 module (if present).
