Fwd: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument

Hello to all.

    I burn in windows several cd and dvd, encrypted with crosscrypt
filedisk, AES256 but i can't mount any in my fedora core 3. I always
get an "ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument" error.

  kernel version: (uname -a)
Linux core3.mydomain 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

    How i encrypt:
filedisk /encrypt plain.iso crypt.iso
/aes256:some.long.password.with.more.than.20.char

    How i try to setup the loopback device
[root@core3 mnt]# losetup -e AES256 /dev/loop0 /dev/hdb
Password:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument

    Feedback with dmesg:
lp0: console ready
FAT: invalid media value (0xc2)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdb.
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)

    I also check the kernel modules, and all is OK. I also install a
new kernel, and re-compile  with all loopback support enable

   What can i do? what I'm missing?

                               Thanks,

                                   Pedro
