sha256 alone did not work.
aes_i586 alone did not work.
sha256 and aes_i586 together did work.

Yep.

Change:
   > # Setup the initrd (change 386 to the correct value)
   > mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.7-1-386

To:
   # Prepare to create the initrd
   # Edit /etc/mkinitrd/modules and add the following lines
   sha256
   aes_i586
   # Note: this is necessary to boot using the recommended (above) cipher

   # Make the initrd image (change X-X-X to the correct value)
   mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.X-X-X


Thanks,
James.
