Bug 94358 – Error on emerge cryptsetup-0.1-r1; dm-crypt support requires in kernel (2.6 only)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nexus 2005-05-29 02:07:22 UTC]

While i emerge cryptsetup-0.1-r1, the ebuild report an error message:

* cryptsetup requires dm-crypt support!
* Please enable dm-crypt support in your kernel config, found at:
*
*    Device Drivers
*        Multi-Device Support
*            [*] Crypt Target Support
*and recompile your kernel...

This is strange! The path for Crypt target support is wrong!
Here's the path on my kernel-2.6.11:

Device Drivers
   Multi-Device Support
      [*] Multiple Devices driver support (RAID and LVM)
         <*> Device Mapper Support
            <*> Crypt Target Support



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge cryptsetup
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Wrong error message.

So are you trying to tell that the error message is incomplete or that you
cannot emerge this even with dm-crypt support compiled in?
