Hi!

I didn't knew that mkinitrd requires a loop.o with
AES crypting support so I have (probably accidently)
removed it. When I recompile it with AES support (only
the modules) and try to insert the new loop.o I still
get missing symbols (less than without AES support):

/lib/modules/2.4.16-1sm/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o: unresolved symbol aes_set_key
/lib/modules/2.4.16-1sm/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o: unresolved symbol aes_decrypt
/lib/modules/2.4.16-1sm/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o: unresolved symbol aes_encrypt

I also tried forcing to load 2.4.17 loop.o but I get
the same error. As the error does not appear on depmod -a
with 2.4.17 these symbols seem to be part of the kernel ( to be
exact: they are defined in drivers/misc/misc.o). It does
not seem possible to make the misc driver as a module.
Any ideas how I can get now mkinitrd working without the
proper loop support ? (I can't reboot to 2.4.17 without
initrd.img, I installed a new 2.4.16 for testing reasons...)

Not totally cooker-related but still a problem where I'm
stuck (the only other chance is to reboot into a normal
mdk kernel which I would have to download...)

With best regards,
