Hi,

I have successfully encrypted partition on external HDD using cryptsetup and guide from this address:

http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/7...able-disk/

I can mount this partition on my 2 laptops, but cannot do this on eeePC 701 with XBMC installed.

using

Code:

$ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 secure

I got:
"Enter LUKS passphrase:
Command failed: unknown hash spec in phdr[/CODE]

my lsmod shows:

Code:

$ lsmod

I though that maybe I am missing some modules, but cannot really find any that I may be missing.

Does any of You use encrypted partition? Have You met this issue?

Heh, probably not xbmc sepecific but make sure you have all your crypts and hashes on that box, cat /proc/crypto on the box that it works on and make sure you have all the same on your xbmc box. I would make sure the hash part like sha256 and sha512 are available to the kernel.

Thanks! That put me closer to the root of the problem I think.

I have installed missing arc4 driver and loaded it. Currently comparing my box that disk is working with, with the xbmc box that it does not work by cat /proc/crypto I can find only one module missing on xbmc.

Code:

That is name         : ecb(arc4)
driver       : ecb(arc4-generic)
module       : kernel
priority     : 0
refcnt       : 3
selftest     : passed
type         : blkcipher
blocksize    : 1
min keysize  : 1
max keysize  : 256
ivsize       : 0
geniv        : <default>

I cannot get the way to get it installed/loaded on xbmc. Do U know what package do I miss. modprobing ecb does not work.

Here is my full cat /proc/crypto from xbmc box..

Code:

$ cat /proc/crypto
