Looks like I have to ruin your day...

But that "make oldconfig ; make dep" is not enough.

Correct way to prepare kernel sources + config for module building is to
build a kernel without installing the kernel + modules. Something like this:

    cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27

Open Makefile and set EXTRAVERSION=-2-386

    mv .config z            # save config
    make distclean          # get rid of previous kernel compile junk
    mv z .config            # restore config
    make oldconfig
    make dep && make clean
    make bzImage && make modules
    
Now you have kernel sources and all kernel compile time generated files
matching your kernel config in a way that can be used to compile more
modules.

    cd /home/phil/loop-AES-v3.0d
    make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.27 KEYSCRUB=y
