Re: running dm-crypt file system on coLinux

Hello Robert,

Device-mapper is not enabled in default kernels for coLinux.  You must 
rebuild the kernel with your config by self.

Or you can install an unofficial version of coLinux 0.7.1-hn12
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/devel-2.6.12-hn/20060309/installer/

Than copy kernel and modules from
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/devel-2.6.12-hn/20060309/kernel-special/

In 'kernel-special' the device mapper is enabbled as module. (CONFIG_MD=M)

Please remember: Version 0.7.1 use a text configuration, instand the old 
XML file.  But should be simple to create this from sample.
