Very interesting. Seems SuSE improves its ways. In case of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m you should be able to compile and load loop-aes module without any changes at all.

The part "loop_unregister_transfer" was returned by dmesg after a failure to load loop.ko. I am uncertain what happens when you tamper with loop-aes source code. The readme is very clear at this point, when the kernel config states CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y, then a recompile is needed.
I´ll try on a spare disk with my desktop pc as the netbook is too slow for kernel compiling.
Kind regards,
Peter
