Truecrypt: Kernel module not loaded
 
Hello,
i tried to use truecrypt to copy data of my truecrypt partition onto my other hdd

im using debian(sarge) and installed truecrypt via the
truecrypt_4.0-1_i386.deb

everything worked just fine, but everytime i try to mount the device i always get

truecrypt: Kernel module not loaded

i allready did
modprobe truecrypt
modprobe vfat
modprobe ntfs
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/extra/truecrypt.ko

no errors with that commands

but it still doesnt work,
does anyone know what to do now?

thank you :)

are you able to find truecrypt in the list when you type 'lsmod'?

try to put it in the kernel.

I don't know TrueCrypt, but it does occur to me that maybe it's looking for a cipher algorithm module that isn't loaded .. and that isn't being auto-loaded. Is there any clue whatever as to the name of the missing module?

Probably it checks using lsmod program, which is not in the $PATH.
Try to run truecrypt when root, I mean real root with su -.

At least on my box:
/dev/mapper/truecrypt0 on /develop/loc/igor/v533 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda12 on /xfs/bigfs type xfs (rw,dmapi,mtpt=/xfs/bigfs)
/dev/hda9 on /xfs/small type xfs (rw,dmapi,mtpt=/xfs/small)
[root@home ~]# truecrypt -d
truecrypt: Kernel module not loaded
[root@home ~]# su -
[root@home ~]# truecrypt -d
[root@home ~]#
