cryptoloop on 2.4.22 won´t work

["buzzy" <buzzy@thinkleet.com>]

Hello


I cannot seem to get crypto loopback to run.


This is 2.4.22 + patch-cryptoloop-jari-2.4.22.0 from kernel.org on an Debian Woody usntable


# losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 /tmp/cryptfile
Password :
The cipher does not exist, or a cipher module needs to be loaded into the kernel
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument


i also tried it with util-linux-2.12pre with this result:

usr/src/util-linux-2.12pre/mount# ./losetup -e blowfish /dev/loop0 /tmp/cryptfile
Unsupported encryption type blowfish


i already tired the modular way and also tried to use cryptoapi and loopcrypt static complied in the kernel, but always the same
result

in the modular way the modules listed below are loaded.


# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
twofish                36112   0  (autoclean)
blowfish                6832   0
cryptoloop              1404   0  (unused)
loop                   11860   0  (autoclean) [cryptoloop]


Why doesn't it work?


Thanks,
Alex
