Title:
  Ubuntu 8.10 sometimes fail to encrypt - missing module? and
  missleading message

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit clean install

  cryptsetup  luksFormat  /dev/sda10   -c "aes-cbc-plain" -i 5000

  was failing (after asking for password etc), with message like...
  check if this device has at least X sectors, and check kernel support
  for this encryption

  I did
  modprobe aes_generic
  modprobe dm-mod
  andafair somethnig more like this and finally it worked

  I will inform more if I test again.

  Anyway, cryptsetup is supposed to auto load all needed modules etc, so
  this seems like a bug
