This probably means that the necessary crypto modules are not present in
the initramfs image or that they weren't loaded as appropriate.
Hey,
It seems like blkcipher module was renamed to crypto_blkcipher in
2.6.25. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120350670529028&w=2
for reference.
Not sure though, whether this is the real issue here, as according to
Didiert the crypto_blkcipher module is included in the initramfs.
Didier, as a test, could you try booting with the "break" parameter,
that should at least drop you into a shell even if cryptsetup refused
to.
Then you can do a "modprobe crypto_blkcipher", followed by "exit" which
will continue the boot process. If that sorts it out, we at least know
which module isn't being loaded properly.
