Some kernel config options alter code generation (locks for example), or size of kernel data structures. Therefore, all code that runs in kernel space better be compiled using same kernel configuration. Simple rule: If you change kernel configuration, then you have to recompile all code that runs in kernel space. Not all config options change size of data structures or code generation, but it is best to treat all of them as if they 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/
