All code that runs in kernel space must be compiled using exactly same kernel configuration. 1) change kernel source -> recompile kernel and all modules 2) change kernel configuration -> recompile kernel and all modules 3) change C compiler -> recompile kernel and all modules Kernel configuration change that does not change compiler code generation or size of kernel structures probably does not need full recompile of kernel and all modules. Full recompile+install is always the safest thing to do. -- 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/
