AXT-1800 Slate - cryptsetup not working after upgrade to 4.8.3

Last weekend I upgraded my Slate AXT-1800 to version 4.8.3 from 4.6.11. The upgrade worked. However I was unable to mount the existing encrypted drives (USB and SD Card) using cryptsetup.

I reinstalled the previous packages. However cryptsetup wouldn’t recongnise the USB nor SD card as being encrypted with LUKS v2.

I spent a few hours troubleshooting and according to Chat GPT the cryptsetup binary wasn’t linked to one of the required libraries. I haven’t been able to find anything to corroborate Chat GPT.

For the moment I’ve ubooted back to 4.6.11. Does anyone know if there is a fix or work around to fix cryptsetup on version 4.8.x?

Hi

Thank you for your report.

We were able to reproduce the issue locally. It appears to be caused by dm-mod not being included in the current kernel configuration/modules.

We will ask the development team to investigate whether it can be added in a future release.

Thank you for taking a look. Hopefully it can be fixed in a future release in the near future.
