(using this version from ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux:
-rw-r--r--   1 korg     korg      1285674   Jul 13 22:09   util-linux-2.12pre.tar.bz2

Umm.. OK... I'll bite.  How do I get 2.12pre to actually use cryptoloop?

losetup -e aes /dev/loop yadd yadda says 'Unknown encryption type aes',
mostly because of this code in lomount.c:

struct crypt_type_struct {
        int id;
        char *name; 
} crypt_type_tbl[] = { 
        { LO_CRYPT_NONE, "no" },
        { LO_CRYPT_NONE, "none" },
        { LO_CRYPT_XOR, "xor" },
        { LO_CRYPT_DES, "DES" },
        { -1, NULL   }          
};                      
                
static int      
crypt_type (const char *name) {
        int i;
        
        if (name) {
                for (i = 0; crypt_type_tbl[i].id != -1; i++)
                        if (!strcasecmp (name, crypt_type_tbl[i].name))
                                return crypt_type_tbl[i].id;
        }
        return -1;
}

none, xor, DES.  Those are the choices - and yes, aes.o is built and in-kernel.
