Re: Problem using dm-crypt with geode LX800 AES-Engine

[Markus Huehnerbein <silencer@gmx.ch>]

Thanks a lot! I confirm that it works with "-s 128" and also if "-s" is
skipped! But if I try to use cryptsetup with ESSIV (cryptsetup -c
aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -y -s 128 luksFormat /dev/hda2) I get the same
error. If the "geode-aes" does not support essiv why is this task not
performed by another algorithm in the cryptoAPI?

Thanks,
Markus
