Re: loop-aes-ciphers make problem with kernel version

[Phil H <philtickle200@xxxxxxxxx>]

Though not entirely sure what I was doing, I tried
adding the following to modules.dep:

/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/block/loop_blowfish.o:

/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/block/loop_serpent.o:

/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/block/loop_twofish.o:

Modprobe then gave no errors, and `make tests` passed
AOK with "*** Test results ok ***"

Is this all ok then?
