Correct way to prepare kernel sources + config for module building is to build a kernel without installing the kernel + modules. Something like this: cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27 Open Makefile and set EXTRAVERSION=-2-386 mv .config z # save config make distclean # get rid of previous kernel compile junk mv z .config # restore config make oldconfig make dep && make clean make bzImage && make modules Now you have kernel sources and all kernel compile time generated files matching your kernel config in a way that can be used to compile more modules. cd /home/phil/loop-AES-v3.0d make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27 KEYSCRUB=y -- 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/
