Thank you for your response, Pascal, Thank you, also, for your very clear instructions. It's nice not having to guess the rest of the command I need to use. My kernel hacking abilities are elementary, at best.
Here is the output from my system: $ modinfo 4.12.0-1-amd64 xts modinfo: ERROR: Module 4.12.0-1-amd64 not found. filename: /lib/modules/4.9.0-3-amd64/kernel/crypto/xts.ko alias: crypto-xts alias: xts description: XTS block cipher mode license: GPL depends: gf128mul intree: Y vermagic: 4.9.0-3-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions $ lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-4.12.0-1-amd64 | grep ecb ## No output I'm sure I just need to tweak something in a setting somewhere. I just don't know where to begin. With thanks,
