With newest Hardy 8.04 installation on a PowerPC (Mac G4), this problem still persists and totally blocks usage of encrypted disks!

The problem is with cryptdisk.functions trying to load an architecture optimized aes module, which does not exists on PowerPC architecture. This is why this problem does not appear on x86 machines (and probably x64) because the script does find a module in /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/arch/*/*/aes*.ko. On ppc machines, there is no such module and the script aborts at that point.

cryptdisks.functions needs to be fixed so that when looking for an architecture optimized aes module, it does not fail if there is none. This is not a fatal error, since an optmized module is not necessary for dm-crypt to function!

Please fix this, don't forget about the PPC users!
