[opensuse] encrypted partitions: aes kernel module not loaded on boot
Hey! I am using 11.4 and an encrypted home partition that gets mountend on boot. It is encrypted with aes. My Intel Core i5 supports the AES instructions set. However, on boot, no aes kernel module is loaded at all. Thus, only the built-in aes is used. The "detection" for the correct aes module works: karl:~ # modprobe -v aes insmod /lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/aesni- intel.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock- aes.ko WARNING: Error inserting padlock_aes (/lib/modules/2.6.37.6-0.5- desktop/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko): No such device IIRC, with previous openSUSE verions, the WARNING above was shown on each boot, too. Now, it is not anymore. Thus, I assume that the "modprobe aes" command was completely removed from an init script or something like that. However, I am not quite sure whether this is a bug or feature request.

Actually, there is still a message about padlock. But it was not about padlock_aes but padlock_sha. Any ideas which script or configuration triggers this module? "grep -r padlock /etc/" tells me nothing. My idea is to add aes to this script in order to automatically load aes, too.

JTFR, I filed a bug report https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693885 Gruß Jan -- There are two reasons for doing things, a very good reason and the real reason. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
