Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-686
Following this procedure: http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki- index.php?page=EncryptedDeviceUsingLUKS I can't get LUKS running on a USB stick. I tried this on two different machines (a three years old desktop and a brand new notebook) with the latest 686 and 386 kernels. All fail the same (see below). As you can see, I tried it with a pre-made linux partition and when that failed with no partitions at all. Maybe a kernel make setting would fix this, but I don't feel like gentoo-ing my own kernels ;) Here's what I tried: ################################ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ /sbin/badblocks -c 10240 -s -w -t random -v /dev/sda Checking for bad blocks in read-write mode >From block 0 to 2015232 Testing with random pattern: done 232 Reading and comparing: done 232 Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found.
