Bug 28571 – IPSEC initialiezes before CryptoAPI with gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description bdonlan 2003-09-12 19:36:43 UTC]

When my kernel, which has ipsec and cryptoapi compiled-in boots, ipsec
initialized before cryptoapi. As such, it fails to find the cryptoapi ciphers.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile kernel with attached .config
2. boot
Actual Results:  
[...]
cryptoapi: trying cipher-aes-cbc
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k cipher-aes-cbc, errno = 2
cryptoapi: trying cipher-aes
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k cipher-aes, errno = 2
cryptoapi: trying cipher
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k cipher, errno = 2
cipher "aes-cbc" not found
[...]
cryptoapi: loaded
cryptoapi: Registered aes-ecb (0)
cryptoapi: Registered aes-cbc (65536)
cryptoapi: Registered aes-cfb (131072)
cryptoapi: Registered aes-ctr (262144)
cryptoapi: Registered aes-rtc (524288)
[...]

Expected Results:  
cryptoapi should have initalized first, allowing ipsec to find the ciphers.
