hi again,

Still got a segfault :-/
The things I have tried more is to recompile cryptsetup and used that
for init, but no change. Compiled in all crypto algorithms, no change.
I'm not that good with all the options in the kernel. If anyone know of
which kernel options that could affect cryptsetup in this way?

Any ideas anyone?
(thx for the help sofar)
