Presumably that’s because one of its prerequisites hasn’t been loaded yet. The difficulty is that modules need to be listed in topological order: things that aesni_intel.ko depends on must appear before aesni_intel.ko. On my machine, I see: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ lsmod|grep aes aesni_intel 165373 3 ablk_helper 13597 1 aesni_intel cryptd 20359 4 ghash_clmulni_intel,aesni_intel,ablk_helper lrw 13286 1 aesni_intel glue_helper 13990 1 aesni_intel aes_x86_64 17131 1 aesni_intel --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So the right order for these would be: cryptd aes_x86_64 ablk_helper lrw aesni_intel We’ll have to change the initrd build to figure that out automatically, but in the meantime, we have to sort them by hand.
