[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#401370: cryptsetup: the initramfs hook script should add the "cbc" module (needed for 2.6.19 and LUKS)

[Michael Olbrich]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4+svn16-1
Severity: normal


CBC is optional in 2.6.19 and can be compiled as a module. LUKS uses cbc
by default.
I needed the following patch to create a working initrd:

As far as I can tell this does not break older kernels.
manual_add_modules seems to ignore missing modules.
