When I encrypt directories (never tried partitions), I 
run:

/sbin/modprobe cryptoloop (I think this loads dm-crypt, 
too). Likely dm-crypt will provide the module you lack.

I am not very knowledgeable about this, but there are 2 
ways, one way using dm-crypt and another way using 
LUKS. It looks like you are choosing the latter. Both 
methods use cryptsetup.
