I'm running kernel 2.6.19. Yesterday installed truecrypt and encrypted my usb flash.
]$ truecrypt --properties /dev/sda1
Enter keyfile path [none]:
Enter password for '/dev/sda1':
Volume properties:
Location: /dev/sda1
Size: 1001111040 bytes
Type: Normal
Encryption algorithm: AES-Twofish
Key size: 512 bits
Block size: 128 bits
Mode of operation: LRW
PKCS-5 PRF: HMAC-RIPEMD-160
PKCS-5 iteration count: 2000
Volume created: Tue Apr 10 20:34:56 2007
Header modified: Tue Apr 10 20:34:56 2007
However when I try to mount it I get:
$ truecrypt /dev/sda1 /media/usbf
Enter password for '/dev/sda1':
FATAL: Module truecrypt not found.
truecrypt: Failed to load TrueCrypt kernel module
then I try as root:
# modprobe truecrypt
FATAL: Module truecrypt not found.
I checked other threads but none of the solutions solved my problem.

Have you installed the truecrypt package for you kernel or are you running a vanilla kernel?

I installed the truecrypt module for kernel26. I have the stock kernel2.6.19 and I didn't notice any vanilla flavour yet
Cheers

Probably the truecrypt module you have installed is for kernel 2.6.20. Update the kernel.
meqif@lust:: pacman -Ql truecrypt
truecrypt /lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/extra/truecrypt.ko

Correct, meqif. External module packages like truecrypt are always compiled for the current versions of the kernel packages.

or
$ sudo pacman -Sf kernel26
?
