Extending Sentry User Class

gistfile1.php

<?php

// In /app/models/User.php
use Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\Eloquent\User as SentryUserModel;
class User extends SentryUserModel {}

// In /app/config/packages/cartalyst/sentry/config.php *Omited some parts for brevity
return array(
	
	'users' => array(

		/*
		|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
		| Model
		|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
		|
		| When using the "eloquent" driver, we need to know which
		| Eloquent models should be used throughout Sentry.
		|
		*/

		// 'model' => 'Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\Eloquent\User',
		'model' => 'User',
	)
);

// In my AuthController
// THIS WORKS
$user = Sentry::getUserProvider()->create(array(
	'email' => Input::get('email'),
	'name' => Input::get('name'),
	'password'    => Input::get('password'),
	'activated' => 1
));

// THIS DOESN'T and throws new \RuntimeException("A hasher has not been provided for the user.");
$user = User::create(array(
    'email' => Input::get('email'),
    'name' => Input::get('name'),
    'password'    => Input::get('password'),
    'activated' => 1
));

Did you manage to solve this? I am having the same problem right now.
