Description Michael Tremer 2012-05-07 21:53:39 UTC
As a lot of sources told me, the geode-aes crypto kernel module cannot be loaded when strongswan is started. There is a huge delay in starting up the service and the following message is shown on the kernel log:

> alg: hash: Test 1 failed for xcbc(geode-aes)

With kernel "Linux ipfire 3.10.26-ipfire #1 SMP Tue Jan 14 10:24:30 GMT 2014 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux" from IPFire 2.15, pre-beta 1, the Geode AES module is working.

Tested with an ALIX board.
