Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.7-1 Severity: normal
This is not really a bug, but it's at least a request for better documentation. I have a standard LUKS volume (created by the Debian installer), using aes-cbc-essiv:sha_256. While stock Debian kernels as well as ones that I build based on the stock config handle it fine, my 'lean' kernel configurations choke as follows: table:254:0: error allocating crypto tfm ioctl: error adding target to table ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table Command failed: failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping for device /dev/hda4 Check that kernel supports aes-cbc-essiv:sha_256 cipher I have googled extensively, and this message apparently usually indicates that kernel support for the appropriate cipher / hash is not available, but I've checked, double-checked, and racked my brains to figure out what I could possibly be missing, to no avail. aes_generic.ko, cbc.ko, crypto_blkcipher.ko, sha256_generic.ko, dm-crypt.ko, dm-mod.ko are all there. I've obviously disabled something that cryptsetup needs, but what? Google turns up nothing current and useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-rc6 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cryptsetup depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.30-3 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.9-24 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.30-3 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libuuid1 2.16-3 Universally Unique ID library cryptsetup recommends no packages.
