Best regards, Karol Babioch As far as I can tell, kmod is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the deprecated tools of module-init-tools. Nonetheless bugs may be there ;) Can you still load aesni_intel by hand? Are you sure the module has not been renamed to something else? Intel renamed iwlagn to iwlwifi some time ago, didn't notice that at first. Greetings, Christoph -- AUR, IRC: kritztopf BBS, GitHub: kritter signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

For what its worth - another datapoint - on my lenovo w520 it loads automatically # lsmod | egrep aes aesni_intel47378 66 aes_x86_64 7508 1 aesni_intel cryptd 8309 17 aesni_intel aes_generic26138 2 aes_x86_64,aesni_intel and I have (tho I cannot say one way or another on earlier kernel/kmod) pacman -Q linux kmod linux 3.2.6-1 kmod 5-4

Also, ff you're using 32bit system this may or may not be relevant ... https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/16/100 gene

Yeah, 3.2.6-1 seems to fix it. Was it fixed with 3.2.5 already? To be honest I'm not entirely sure whether I've rebooted with 3.2.5, so I'm not sure whether the initramfs was actually used.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure whether I've rebooted with 3.2.5, so I'm not sure whether the initramfs was actually used. Thanks anyway ;). There was no problem in the kernel. However, if you load the aes module in initramfs (due to hard disk encryption), the version of kmod is used that was installed when you generated the initramfs. As I said, older kmod versions had a bug that would - under certain circumstances - fail to load aesni_intel. After a kmod or udev update, I advise you to run 'mkinitcpio -p linux' so that the latest versions of kmod and udev are used during early boot. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
