At http://www.vlasiu.net/loop-aes/ you will find my util-linux-ng for 
Fedora 8.

You can build your own util-linux-ng from 
util-linux-ng-2.13-3.1.AES.f8g.src.rpm. Of course, the original loop-aes 
patch is adapted for Fedora.

I use x86_64 rpm on my laptop/desktop and I have no problems whatsoever. 
i386 is only tested in vmware but should work on real computers too.


Sincerely,
Gabriel
