I haven't looked at truecrypt for a long while, but I never used it on my desk/laptop systems, because the Linux port seemed to be a kludgey bolt-on afterthought. Besides, with LUKS+dm-crypt, I found it was easy to set up LVM in an encrypted container, and have grow/shrink capability with full disk encryption.
Hmm, I was assuming Fremantle.

You need following:
  • dm-mod (required for dm-*)
  • dm-crypt
  • Devicemapper (userspace binaries for dm-mod)
  • dmsetup or cryptsetup-luks (frontends for dm-* API)

Should work on 2.6.21 kernels but you will not get XTS mode since requires Linux 2.6.24+

There are some folks who compiled dm-loop for Diablo. Excellent starting point.

For Maemo < 5.0 see also these legacy threads:
