Description of problem:
The attempt to create a crypted device mapping via cryptsetup fails with an
unclear errormessage

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC5T2 versions and newest rawhide...

Crypted dm mapping with name crypt1 created

Same results if I manually load dm-crypt and aes modules, create partitions, try

These bugs are being closed since a large number of updates have been released
after the FC5 test1 and test2 releases. Kindly update your system by running yum
update as root user or try out the third and final test version of FC5 being
released in a short while and verify if the bugs are still present on the system
.Reopen or file new bug reports as appropriate after confirming the presence of
this issue. Thanks
