Public bug reported: Hi, I've made an installation of Ubuntu 11.10 on a system with AES-NI instructions only to find that the aesni_intel module is not being loaded before mounting the root file system, leaving the system with software encryption instead of using the hardware capabilities.
The problem I think it's due to the modules not existing on the initramfs. Naturally, aes_x86_64 and cryptd modules aren't loaded too. Having the kernel compiled with options CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=y CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_X86_64=y CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL=y instead of CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=y CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_X86_64=m CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL=m as it appears on "config-3.0.0-14-generic" in the /boot directory should be OK too. I can manually load those modules after the system boots, but then it's not useful for my fully encrypted filesystem.
