Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

I downloaded Feisty server and tried to create root crypto disk with command:
cryptsetup create croot /dev/hda4
(I would then copy the existing root partition there and rebuilt initrd).

But get an error:

Command failed: Incompatible libdevmapper 1.02.08 (2006-07-17)(compat)
and kernel driver.

Typing the command: sudo modprobe aes dm-crypt dm_mod does solve the
problem.

Version of cryptsetup: cryptsetup-luks 1.0.5

I also tried with dmsetup create croot /dev/hda4, and get the following error:
/proc/misc: no entry for devide-mapper found.
Is device mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with device-mapper driver.
Incompatible libdevmapper 1.02.08 (2006-07-17)(compat) and kernel driver.

sudo modprobe device-mapper does not solve the problem.

I submitted this bug here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/64625/comments/9

But this is Feisty problem, and I found it testing Feisty, so I
submitted new bug report.
