[Bug 479129] [NEW] [Karmic] cryptsetup not accepting filesystem type ext4

[Claudio Moretti]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

I was doing a fresh Karmic install from alternate CD; in the partition manager, I created a small partition for "/boot" and a big partition that contains "/" (root), "/home" and "swap". 
Filesystems are ext4 (root, boot and home)
When I boot my system, cryptsetup asks for my password, but even if correct, does not accept it with this error message:
"cryptsetup: unknown fstype. Bad password or option?"
I thought I had mistyped my password during setup, so I formatted and reinstalled with the same method. It didn't work.
I noticed that GRUB2 entry for linux does an "insmod ext2", but it does not accept "insmod ext4" as I don't have any /boot/grub/ext4.mod file, and even removing it does not solve the problem.
What do I have to do?
