Hey,

Just wanted to try the mm-series instead of vanilla 2.6.x, and ran into a 
problem when compiling loop-AES 1.7e, with the loop-AES-v1.7e-20030922.diff 
patch applied.
The output is:

Oh,

and this Mailing list has gone quite quiet latly...is loopAES not the best 
sollution for completly encrypted disks (including / and *swap*) anymore ? 
Ive seen the crypto-api that is in 2.6, how does it compare to loop-AES ?
Are there any other ways (that I dont know of) ?

Peter
