Hello,
Yea I checked out his site. I can get everything running except
for the CIPE, I got the ciped-1.lrp package from http://lrp.steinkuehler.net
and I tried several of the kernels there. To the best o my knowledge the
only ones I didn't try were the ones compiled for IPSEC which I'm trying to
avoid due to the size of the package. While doing all of my research to
solve the problem I cam across this on the CIPE website:
opendev: alloc: <some error message>
(by far the most commonly reported problem)
This is almost certainly due to a mismatch between kernel and CIPE module.
Make sure you have compiled the module against the right kernel headers,
with the right compiler and options, etc.
This applies to any externally compiled module: a module must be compiled
using the same compiler and options, and using the same, identically
configured kernel header tree, as the kernel it will run on. Otherwise, it
could use definitions of kernel data structures which don't agree with the
running kernel, since these structures are configuration and compiler
dependent. This is an easy way to cause kernel crashes.
If you compile your own kernel, always set the "Set version information on
all symbols" (aka MODVERSIONS) option. It helps catch the errors from
mismatching modules by refusing to load these modules.
It took me a couple of times reading it to catch the full impact... because
if what Olaf says is true (no reason to believe it isn't) than the ipmasq
modules would have to be compiled against the same unchanged kernel header
tree st the kernel and the CIPE package.
I currently run Mandrake 8 on my personal machine with a 2.4.x kernel and I
wonder if that may have something to do with my compile errors. I am also
working on setting up a Debian slink install in hopes that it might handle
the compile better. Any advice or assitance would be very much appreciated.
I'm not a linux guru but I have compiled kernels before successfully......
Thanks guys
John Abrams
