ok, this was due to a stupid fault on my side. i missed to load the 'cryptoloop' module before running 'losetup -e serpent'. but according to the commands you used, you didn't setup the loopback device before mounting the encrypted device. if you set up /dev/sda1 as /dev/loop0 once, you need to redo that before mounting /dev/sda1. /dev/sda1 will be the plain encrypted device - and only the loopback device, set up exactly like the first time - is able to be mounted. i.e.: in woody: # losetup -e serpent -k 128 /dev/loop0 /dev/sda1 # mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0 [ fill /dev/loop0 with data ] in sarge: # losetup -e serpent -k 128 /dev/loop0 /dev/sda1 # mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt/ this one for sure doesn't work: # mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/ Dominik, please give us more information about how to reproduce the bug. ... jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
