I'm running mdev instead of udev on the laptop, so lvm doesn't work. I did manage to create /dev/mapper/control by running "dmsetup mknodes" manually, but still got error messages about being unable to initialize the encryption backend. Moving on to using loop-aes, I emerged sys-fs/loop-aes-3.7a and used the "loop-aes" variant commands whilst following the the only docs that I could find, namely http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES.README I ran into problems when trying to mount the loop device. Here's what happens (passphrase is properly entered)...
