I tried your config (just added hw drivers so it boots on my VM)
and for my non-initram i386 system it works.

The only module it requires to load (all other are compiled in) is hmac,
so try CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC=y or check it is in initramfs.

And obviously, removing this module so kernel cannot find it causes
...
socket(PF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0)       = 6
bind(6, {sa_family=AF_ALG, sa_data="hash\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 88) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
                                = 0
I will probably try to add some better debug messages here
(but you did not send me --debug output anyway :-)
