Description David Gardner 2006-12-03 18:05:05 UTC
The following script works fine under the 2.6.18-r3 kernel, but fails under kernel 2.6.19-r1.
   #!/bin/bash
   losetup /dev/loop0 /space/.pgfile
   sleep 1
   cryptsetup create pg /dev/loop0 
   sleep 1
   mount /dev/mapper/pg /space/.pg

The error I get in /var/log/messages is:
   Dec  3 16:36:05 monster device-mapper: table: 254:0: crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm
   Dec  3 16:36:05 monster device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
   Dec  3 16:36:05 monster device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.

Comment 3 Francisco J. Vazquez 2006-12-16 04:45:21 UTC
Same error here:

$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/hda8 crypt
Enter LUKS passphrase: 
Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping.
Check kernel for support for the aes-cbc-plain cipher spec and verify that /dev/hda8 contains at least 261 sectors.
Failed to read from key storage


dmesg:

device-mapper: ioctl: 4.10.0-ioctl (2006-09-14) initialised: dm-devel@redhat.com
device-mapper: table: 254:0: crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: ioctl: device doesn't appear to be in the dev hash table.


The modules dm-crypt, sha1 and aes-i586 are loaded.
Comment 4 David Gardner 2006-12-16 06:37:46 UTC
Is this on an amd64 platform as well?
Also I tried this on the 2.6.19-r2 kernel as well, same result.

No, x86, vanilla-sources-2.6.19.1. 

emerge --info: (the kernel is the old one, until this bug is solved)

Comment 6 Francisco J. Vazquez 2006-12-17 02:10:21 UTC
It seems that now you need CBC support in the kernel (in Cryptographic options). I added it as advised in a thread in FGO and everything works as before.
Comment 7 Benjamin Smee (strerror) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-21 12:46:22 UTC
thanks for the report, new warning added in cvs.
