Seems strange. I use the crypto-loop-devices with cipher serpent for a few
years.
With kernel 2.4.21 i use the patch patch-int-2.4.21.0 or patch-int-2.4.19 and mount --version 2.11u with patches. Everything works fine.
My /etc/fstab is:
/dev/md9 /crypto ext3 defaults,rw,nodev,noauto,loop,encryption=serpent,offset=1024,errors=remount-ro
if i call "mount /crypto" mount ask me for the keysize for the serpent cipher: Available keysizes (bits): 128 192 256
Keysize: 192
And then ask for the password.
With the until-linux resp. mount 2.12, no question for the keysize and with same password, the mount fails.
I need to test with 2.6.1, if the API from util-linux has changed amd maybe works with 2.6.1..
