Hi,

I have my homedir encrypted, with a cryptoloop device. It works great for 
almost a year now.
I would like to test the 2.6 kernels without giving up the possibility to 
boot 2.4.

It seems however that the encryption algorithms in 2.4 and 2.6 are not 
compatible. When I try to mount an encrypted device in 2.6 that is made in 
2.4, it doens't want to mount, it's giving the error 

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

indicating that decyption doesn't work as expected.

The other way around the same thing happens.

Moreover, on 2.4 util-linux-2.11 is required, and in 2.6 util-linux-2.12 
is necessary to get the mount and losetup commands working without 
messages that modules should be loaded into the kernel or that the cipher 
doesn't exist.

Now the question is, has anyone managed to get a dual-bootable(2.4/2.6) 
setup working with encryption?

Please send me some input on this...

Thanks,

Elton
