Re: initramfs and loop-aes

After repeating loop-aes setup I'm sure, that it should work, but it
doesn't. I'll give you all configurations:

I'm using gentoo with suspend2-sources kernel v. 2.6.20, compiled loop-AES
v3.2a, dietlibc 0.30, util-linux 2.12r.
When booting from USB flashdrive, kernel boots ok until this:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Replacing swsusp.
No storage allocator is currently active. Rechecking weather we can use one.

Compression Driver: Argh! Nothing follows me in the pipeline!
Compressor didn't initialise okay.
Suspend2: Initialise modules failed!
VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem) readonly.
Mounting /dev/sdc as /lib failed
md: stopping all md devices.
.
.
System halted.
.
.
(follow some suspend2 related messages)
Note that equal output comes if there is no encrypted root (I switch my sata
drives sata1,sata2 <-> sda, sdb). No password is asked.
