So you didn't build loop-AES' loop.o module. Your mount attempt fails
because there is no loop driver available.

You skipped section 3 of README. Section number 3 refers to README file from
loop-AES-v3.1b, I don't remember if it was same number in v1.7 README.

Your old partitions should mount ok with newer loop-AES version.
Securitywise, your setup is broken and exploitable. I recommend that you
re-encrypt those partitions using loop-AES version 3 on-disk format.
