argh yes my regexp sucked. thanks! i had so many problems with programming with
awk (this is awful) that i reduced my regexp at one time, and forgot to expand
it again to the really working one.
about your initial problem, anyway since it's failing during install, i'll need
to do a patch to the installer.

description:
When a loopback file is used as the root "partition," mkinitrd includes loop.o
but not aes.o in the initrd. Any attempt to use this initrd to boot the system
results in the initrd being unable to mount the root filesystem and, hence, the
system being unbootable.
I first encountered this problem during a fresh 9.1 install (I used a Knoppix
rescue CD to manually modify the initrd so I could boot after the install). It's
100% reproducible with mkinitrd from the command line after installation, too.
In any case, this bug makes Mandrake 9.1 loopback installs *totally unusable*
unless you manually hack the initrd.
I'm taking a look at the mkinitrd source code now, and I'll see if I can put
together a patch (or maybe a few patches which use different approaches) to fix
this.
