cryptoloop confusion
I've decided to learn how to setup an encrypted filesystem using the
cryptoloop method and I'm having troubles getting my kernal source
patched correctly. I've read the "Loopback Encrypted Filesystem
HOWTO", but it's outdated. Here are a number of patches for kernel
2.4.18 and I'm confused as to which one(s) to use.
I've patched using patch-int-2.4.18.2.bz2 successfully, but my
compile fails at the cryptoloop part.
I've tried using the "make patch-kernel ..." to patch with
cryptoloop-0.0.1-pre1.tar.gz and cryptoapi-0.1.0-rc1.tar.gz, both of
which failed:

I'm googling and looking at all the docs in the patches, but I'm not
finding clear answers yet.
If someone can shed some light on which patch(es) I need and the order
I need to apply them, and any other important pieces I'd really
appreciate it.
thanks,
jc
