Re: [Gnewsense-dev] Mipsel gNS 3 + crypto

I've looked into this a bit more. The preseed file has nothing in it
related to crytpo, but I get this error message when trying to do crypto
in the partitioning step:

Could the problem be that I need crypto-modules and crypto-dm-modules?
The kernel has no crypto support compiled in, and the modules for crypto
support aren't in the initramfs or even in the gNewSense package.

Further, it was very difficult to find the source package for the
linux-image-2.6.31.6-libre1 package, and I don't even know if it's
possible to find the source for the netboot image I downloaded off of
the gNewSense servers. Could anyone point me to that?

I think the best solution would be to try to rebuild the initramfs with
a more recent kernel, since the 2.6.33 kernel builds have all the
modules I need. I'm not sure if the partitioner will recognize that, but
if it doesn't I can go from there.
