This problem is caused by CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y in your kernel config. ~ The USE_KBUILD=y make command line parameter partially works around this problem and patch below also changes Makefile to partially work around this problem. Best fix is to disable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in kernel config. This is because currently on 2.6 kernels module symbol versions only work for symbols that are present in the main kernel source tree. When externally compiled loop module exports symbols to other externally compiled loop cipher modules, those exported symbols don't have proper versions and modprobe program from module-init-tools package is not happy with that kind of symbols. This is small regression in module-init-tools vs. modutils that were used on 2.4 and older kernels. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD --- ../loop-AES-v2.2d/Makefile Tue Sep 28 18:56:11 2004 +++ ./Makefile Mon Nov 1 18:36:25 2004 @@ -101,6 +101,7 @@ CP1:=cd $(OD1) && PP1:=$(TD)/ MP1:=$(shell if test -e $(OD1)/scripts/mod/modpost; then echo "./scripts/mod/modpost"; else echo "./scripts/modpost"; fi) + MP1 += $(shell if grep -q -s "define CONFIG_MODVERSIONS 1" $(OD1)/include/linux/autoconf.h; then if grep -q -s "if .*CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.*-m" $(LS)/scripts/Makefile.modpost; then echo -e "\055m"; fi; fi) VM1:=k endif # Use optimized assembler implementation if target is x86 processor - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
