[Bug 1153908] Re: fail to create live session user when user-setup/encrypt-home=true is passed

[Joseph Matheney]

There are a few things that need to be checked, in the initramfs we
should have modules for aes cbc and or ecb (I think their built into the
kernel so no modules needed) We also need to have encryptfs-utils and
cryptsetup stuff in the initramfs. I have only 32 bit architecture
available to me, im going to check all this out on my livecd. If someone
could do the same for the 64bit livecd and report back I can really use
the info.
