Package: partman-crypto
Severity: important

Using the daily d-i build with a businesscard image to install lenny,

My desired configuration is as follows:

/boot unencrypted
loop-aes #1 AES256, GPG key
loop-aes #2 AES256, random key

d-i tells me that it is preparing #1 but after generating enough randomness
it fails with "An error has occured while configuring encrypted
volumes."

The syslog shows

partman-crypto: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested
cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel.

d-i Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-486 #1 Wed Jul 11 03:17:09 UTC 2007 i686 unknown

   [ Frans Pop ]
   * For hd-media installs the module loop will already be loaded, which
     prevents loop-aes from being loaded. Attempt to replace loop with loop-aes
     by unmounting the CD image, replacing the module and remounting the image.
     As losetup is not available, we cannot check what exactly is loop-mounted,
     so we just assume that loop is only used for a CD image.
     Many thanks to Nemui Ailin for identifying the issue. Closes: #434027.

   * Use 'mkdir -p' rather than more awkward test-then-create constructions.
