Bug#434027: partman-crypto: loop-aes fails with "not supported by kernel"

Package: partman-crypto
Severity: important

Using the daily d-i build with a businesscard image to install lenny,

My desired configuration is as follows:

/boot unencrypted
loop-aes #1 AES256, GPG key
loop-aes #2 AES256, random key

d-i tells me that it is preparing #1 but after generating enough randomness it fails with "An error has occured while configuring encrypted volumes."

The syslog shows

partman-crypto: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel.

d-i Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-486 #1 Wed Jul 11 03:17:09 UTC 2007 i686 unknown
