hi, sorry, didn't work. it didn't compile correctly: > Your kernel appears to include O(1) scheduler, but for some reason does > not > export that set_user_nice() function to modules. Strange. > > Quick fix is to add such export statement to your kernel source, and then > re-compile and install new kernel. You can add that export like this: > > cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18 > echo 'EXPORT_SYMBOL(set_user_nice);' >>kernel/ksyms.c this worked ... > Then build + install new kernel normally. Something like this: > > mv .config z > make distclean > mv z .config > make oldconfig until here it worked ... > make dep && make clean && make bzlilo INSTALL_PATH=/boot and here i get: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -DKBUILD_BASENAME=ksyms -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c ksyms.c ksyms.c:609: `set_user_nice' undeclared here (not in a function) ksyms.c:609: initializer element is not constant ksyms.c:609: (near initialization for `__ksymtab_set_user_nice.value') make[2]: *** [ksyms.o] Fehler 1 make[2]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses Verzeichnis »/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/kernel« make[1]: *** [first_rule] Fehler 2 make[1]: Verlassen des Verzeichnisses Verzeichnis »/usr/src/linux-2.4.18.SuSE/kernel« make: *** [_dir_kernel] Fehler 2 so as you can see. it is an old suse-distro (8.0). actually it worked on it before. now i don't know, why it doesn't anymore ... . strange. before i did have some updates on it, which are not downloadable anymore, since they don't support this distro anymore. i already thought about a newer distro, but my computer is really old and new software packages are often not really handy for old computer ... bernhard > make modules && make modules_install > > Then compile new loop-AES module, like this: > > cd /usr/src/loop-AES-v3.1c > make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18 > > And finally boot your new kernel. > > - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
