Creating kernel package with IPSEC support

[Klaus Reimer <k@ailis.de>]

Hi,

Finally I figured out that my last problem (Modules are not working and make 
menuconfig shows me an empty kernel menu) has something todo with the 
Freeswan-Patch. If I don't use it, all is working fine, but if I apply it to 
the kernel I have the mentioned problems. I have tried two ways to generate 
kernel-packages with IPSEC enabled:

1. 

Kernel in /usr/src/linux
Freeswan in /usr/src/freeswan
Run "make menugo" in /usr/src/freeswan and exit/save the dialog.
The kernel is now patched and compiled.
In /usr/src/linux I run the that "make-kpkg" command
The resulting kernel is working sometimes but sometimes, as I said, it is not 
working because the modules can't be loaded (Haven't figured out, why this 
happens). And the kernel-source-package is corrupted. "make menuconfig" isn't 
working anymore.


2. 

Kernel in /usr/src/linux
Freeswan in /usr/src/freeswan
Run "make patches" in /usr/src/freeswan.
The kernel is now patched and there are no error messages in the file 
"out.kpatch".
Then I try to run "make menuconfig" in /usr/src/linux but again it is not 
working. The menu is empty.

Any hints how to apply this freeswan patch correctly? The normal way (1) as 
described in the documentation isn't working.
