Thanks. You mean:

It looks like I have to rebuild the kernel to get this working. As I
mentioned, I really can't do that. Is it possible to get the patched
cryptoloop module without rebuilding the kernel?

In case you are interested in the kernel issue: The machine is an Omnibook
500 with a removable doc. The doc holds the CD drive. If I use the standard
bf2.4 (.19) kernel, eveything is peachy. If I rebuild the kernel, things
seem peachy until I mount a CD. Then the system spins up the CD and locks up
hard. After power cycling, there is always some random HD corruption. I can
only do this a few times before the corruption hits something critical, then
I have to reinstall. My solution was to just not screw with builing my own
kernel.

Obviously, I can probably fix this but each test iteration involves
reinstalling the OS from scratch. It could take a long, long time.
