I have never been stump on anything Linux related until now,
I can't get cloop to work on the latest kernel.
I need to update the suse10.1 live DVD to the new kernel
as it appears to be having panic errors on Compaq's with asus mobo's and
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 + nForce 430 chip set.
so in putting a new kernel into 10.1 i need to compile a cloop driver,
no can do!!!
I get this (according to my googling) standard shit, not specific to
cloop, but to my environment, but I did everything just fine (i thought)
My make KERNEL_SOURCE=..........
give me

======================================================================================
these errors turn up in all kinds things (on google), and the sol'n
always seems to indicate some headers out of sync,
but I just compiled a linus kernel 2.6.18-2 and installed it as normal,
it boots fine, yet when i "make" cloop (any recent versions), i get this
same error.
I changed kernel source to the /lib/modules/......... same thing.
I suppose i could use the kernel in 10.2 beta, but there is no cloop
module for that yet is there? someone has to make one, and not get the
problem i have above.
For me , cloop is just so cursed.
any help would be massively appreciated!
