Now reporting success in building loop-aes from sourceforge tarballs - my last post on this, only for closure and for the benefit of future newbs. All problems were solved by reading http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/05/msg00069.html It was a simple omission. Though I had rebuilt my 2.4.27-2-386 kernel with loops off as 2.4.27.noloops, I had subsequently deleted the source trees, which meant all the necessary info was gone. I then had downloaded and unpacked the source for the 2.4.27 kernel (official debian in my case). (Sourceforge tarballs for loop-aes and loop-aes-ciphers were already unpacked). All I then needed to do was: # Boot into my 2.4.27.noloops kernel cp /boot/config-2.4.27-2-386 \ /usr/src/kernel /source-2.4.27/.config; \ cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27; \ make oldconfig ;\ # this part I knew make dep; \ # this part I DIDN'T know <--- # Then open makefile and set EXTRAVERSION=-2-386 # because module is being built for 2.4.27-2-386 # and not for 2.4.27.noloops cd /home/phil/loop-AES-v3.0d ;\ # or whatever the sources directory is for loop-aes make clean ;\ make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27 KEYSCRUB=y ;\ # Then, to do tests, and to build loop-aes-ciphers: # (I'd already built the patched utils.) # Reboot into the original loop-enabled kernel 2.4.27-2-386 cd /home/phil/loop-AES-v3.0d;\ make tests ;\ --> ***test results OK*** # ! cd /home/phil/ciphers-v3.0b ;\ make clean ;\ make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27 ;\ make tests ;\ --> ***test results OK*** # ! --------------------------------------------- How easy that was. (No m-a fakesource). No doubt this is not surprising to the old hands. (A minor complication was that, since I had already built loop-aes and loop-aes-ciphers from the Sid debian sources against the loop-enabled kernel, and although these were in a different location, I needed to delete those modules (and run depmod I think) before compiling loop-aes-ciphers - or there were errors). If any of this is wrong, please advise. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
