Missing functionality: 1) "make M=/path/to/dir modules_install" does not run depmod. Pulling correct depmod info from kernel Makefile needs ugly hacks. 2) Try building external module A that exports some function, and then build another external module B (separate package, only knows function prototype) that uses said exported function. And I mean build it cleanly without puking error messages on me. 2.4 and older kernel got that right, but 2.6 is still FUBAR. Serious regression here. Both above cases can be (and need to be) worked around using ugly hacks. Sam, Please understand that loop-AES needs to work with 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Not just latest mainline, but all of them, including ones that you cannot retroactively change. -- 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/
