Thanks much for the quick response. With the loop-AES makefile patched,
loop-AES and 2.6.6-rc3 are happy together.

One last question: Is there a reason there is no mention of the
compile problem or presence of a patch on the loop-AES sourceforge home
page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/loop-aes/)? Or is this common
knowledge that everyone is supposed to know about sourceforge projects?
At least with this thread, Google searches will no longer come up empty.

Now all I need is an APM implementation which suspends while on A/C
power and I can stop playing with kernel releases and concentrate
on work.

Thanks again!

Vince
