yet another 2.4.22 INsuccess story



Hi,

 I've been using kerneli.org's patch-int for a year now, and everything
has been running perfectly until now. I have several kerneli.org
encrypted volumes, which stopped working with 2.4.22's new cryptoapi
stuff. I've been reading the threads on this issue, and unfortunately
I'm unable to mount old volumes with a 2.4.22 kernel. 

 Below are the descriptions of my attempts. I don't expect a HOWTO to
make it work, just a couple of your brain-time to help on finding the
problem. 
 BTW, to make sure I don't have a patch-int legacy problem, I've created
a brand new crypto-fs using 2.4.21 and the corresponding patch-int,
which I'm using in these tests.
