Debian Squeeze bug: loop-aes automount on boot fails, manual mount works

Hello,

I just migrated from Lenny x86 to Squeeze x86.

Because in Squeeze there is no loop-aes-module package, I built the
loop-aes-sources with m-a and installed them.

Mounting of my loop-aes encrypted partitions works, but only manual.

On system boot via fstab, there comes no password prompt after stating
that the loop module was loaded, instead the system sits there and waits
forever (at least 5 minutes). When I hit Ctrl-C, there come a couple of
messages something like this: "I/O buffer error on loop device".

I actually use now the "noauto" option in fstab to disable boot mount.
Then the system boots ok. Manual mounting of the loop-aes-partition
also works fine.

Compiling the kernel-sources with deactivating the original loop block
device did not help either.

booting with kernel option acpi=off did not help either.
