loop-aes-ciphers make problem with kernel version

[Phil H <philtickle200@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Debian source for kernel 2.4.27 unpacks into
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27 (that's what's available
debian-source-wise I think), but the running kernel
(precompiled, from the debian install cd) is (from
uname -r) 2.4.27-2-386 ie for i386 architecture.

So when I built loop.o, it got put in
/lib/modules/2.4.27/block

This didn't seem to be a problem, however.   I did
rmmod loop.o
rm -f
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o
cp /lib/modules/2.4.27/block/loop.o
/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/block
modprobe loop

and the new loop.o driver seems to be working.

BUT this same procedure didn't work for the new
modules I built from loop-aes-ciphers v3.0b - modprobe
says it can't find them.

Naively changing the name of the source code directory
to match 2.4.26-2-386 doesn't work ( I didn't think it
would).

How to I fix this?
