Re: LRW/XTS + Via Padlock Bug in 2.6.24-rc7?

[Torben Viets <viets@web.de>]

Woot,

it works, in XTS and LRW mode thanks, but I have one last question (it 
sounds like I'm columbo ;) )

Why I can't see both in /proc/crypto and of course not use in int 
cryptsetup, till I make a /etc/init.d/udev restart ist ths a kernel bug, 
or a ubuntu bug?

Thanks
