You need to recompile your kernel first as was pointed out in earlier mail to this list. That is best way to ensure that kernel sources are in state that can used to compile kernel modules. > Is it possible to download a precompiled up-to-date > loop-aes binary for various kernels, specifically > 2.4.26 (Debian i386)? For some distro kernels, maybe. For kernels that you configure and compile yourself, no. Linux does not have binary kernel driver compatibility. Different kernel versions have different kernel structures. Configuration options that are set kernel config change code generation for locking code as well as size and layout of kernel structures. Even C compiler version changes size and layout of kernel structures. In other words: Every unique kernel version + kernel configuration + C compiler version, needs its own kernel code and modules compiled just for that unique combination. Such is Linux. -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
