custom kernel stalls mounting encrypted hd

[dguido]

Are there any specific options I should watch out for in my kernel config to support LUKS disks? I've compiled a custom kernel that gets as far as mounting my encrypted root device (mount by uuid=whatever) which then proceeds to tell me that the device can't be found. This might be related to the ATA controller drivers. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Well, do you have the according modules loaded?

aes_generic
dm_mod
dm-crypt

heh I got to that problem a few builds ago. The specific error I'm getting now is:

ide_media[1142]: main: unable to read from /proc/ide/ide0/hda/media

I'm going to play around with my ATA drivers a bit more. I must be doing something different from how the Ubuntu kernel is.
