Bug 362233 – 2.6.36-gentoo-r8 - module xts doesn't load: [timestamp] xts: Unknown symbol gf128mul_x_ble (err 0)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description desperado1 2011-04-05 21:18:02 UTC]

module xts doesn't load.
I need it to use truecrypt. Quite fresh gentoo installation. I also tried to include xts into the kernel, truecrypt doesn't work anyway.
truecrypt error:
Error: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such file or directory
Command failed
dmesg after truecrypt:
[85329.538919] xts: Unknown symbol gf128mul_x_ble (err 0)
[85329.542170] device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm
[85329.542181] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe xts
Actual Results:  
#modprobe xts
FATAL: Error inserting xts (/lib/modules/2.6.36-gentoo-r8/kernel/crypto/xts.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)


Expected Results:  
module loads without errors

dmesg:
[84574.194838] xts: Unknown symbol gf128mul_x_ble (err 0)

Please post your `emerge --info' output too.

Can you check the output of the command:
grep "gf128mul" /proc/kallsyms

The config seems ok(GF128MUL is set) and the symbols needed should be exported.

Have you tried 2.6.37 or 2.6.38 kernels?

Sorry, I am an idiot, I forgot to mount the boot partition before copying the kernel to /boot.
I guess it is time for me to leave the computer for a while and get some fresh air for my brain.
