Truecrypt 4.3a: "Kernel module not loaded"

[mtrudgia]

I've got a really weird TrueCrypt (4.3a) problem...

I did this process yesterday (and have repeated it to confirm):

New gentoo installation:
* using stage3 / 2007.0 tarball / latest portage snapshot
* emerge --sync
* emerge portage
* emerge syslog-ng
* rc-update add syslog-ng default
* emerge gentoo-sources
* compile a kernel
* REBOOT
* emerge --update world (fails)
* revdep-rebuild for libexpat (succeeds)
* emerge --update world (succeeds)
* emerge truecrypt

Now, I've got a FAT32 partition which is a truecrypt-4.3a volume (created using TrueCrypt-4.3a in Vista).

* truecrypt -N 1 /dev/sda7
* specify password (succeeds)
* mount /dev/mapper/truecrypt1 /mnt/tc
* data appears in /mnt/tc perfectly... everything's good and as it should be
* NOTE: I never added the truecrypt kernel module to autoload AND never did "modprobe truecrypt" -- so running truecrypt must have loaded the truecrypt module automatically.

Next,
* REBOOT
* truecrypt -N 1 /dev/sda7
* specify password (fails)
* ERROR: "Kernel module not loaded"
* lsmod (NO truecryt kernel module listed)
* modprobe truecrypt (succeeds)
* lsmod (truecrypt module IS listed)
* truecrypt -N 1 /dev/sda7
* specify password (fails)
* ERROR: "Kernel module not loaded"
* lsmod (NO truecrypt kernel module listed)

Did a

Anyone got any thoughts? As I said, I've done this entire process TWICE, and both times, I can create the device-mapper the first time and mount to volume successfully.

Thanks,
Michael

Have you checked, that automatic module loading is enabled in your kernel config?
