Re: Knoppix 5.3.1 ISO boot (with "ntfs_rw" cheatco
Hello Gilles,
yesterday I started with Knoppix 5.31. I prepared all with http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/knx531.zip form you and it runs. Thank you for that.
After that I liked to create an encrypted knoppix home image. But the coressponding script /usr/sbin/knoppix-mkimage fails during encryption.
The error message is
ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Das Argument ist ungültig (german, stands for: argument is wrong), requested cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel
The cipher is AES256.
I tested the same booting from CD directly. In this case it works.
Is it possible to enable the AES256 facility within the kernel?

Re: Knoppix 5.3.1 ISO boot (with "ntfs_rw" cheatco
With the help of Google I found that "modprobe cryptoloop" could help.
Within the running system it helped. To get it during the boot process I copied /usr/sbin/knoppix-image to / of the minirt and modifiered linuxrc in such a way that it is moved back just before init is started. I modifiered knoppix-image with "modprobe cryptoloop" before it is needed. (I had a try with a copy of cryptoloop.ko in /modules and loadmodule also, but it didn't work)
It is clear: it is a hack.
The script knoppix-image is realitivly new (Okt 2007). That may be the reason that it does not work with minirt531.
