RE: cryptoloop confusion
It seems to me, you need not only the patch-int , but also the loop patch,
which can be found at
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/crypto/v2.4/testing/loop-hvr-2.4.18.0.patch
You have to use it else the cryptoloop compile part fails.
Why the loop patch is not included in the patch-int patch, I do not know.
