Notes: For the users who already use the Linux kernel2.6 can jump to the step-2.

patch-cryptoloop-jari-2.4.22.0, or patch-cryptoloop-hvr-2.4.22.0

• Step 1: Install the patch for Cryptoloop
  

#cd /usr/src/linux
#bzcat /home/download/patch-cryptoloop-hvr-2.4.22.0.bz2 | patch –p1 -E

• Step 2: Configure the Linux kernel

#make menuconfig

or

#make xconfig

Notes:

In the section of [Block devices], make sure to active the modules for the loop devices and the Cryptoloop.

In the section of [Cryptographic options], make sure to active the crypto support: all the modules for all the encryption algorithms.

• Step 3: If you do not use either the kernel version 2.6, or the version 2.4.22 with the support of loop devices, you must recompile your Linux kernel: use the following command:

#make bzImage

Then the system will be recompiled from your kernel source and your kernel configuration.

• Step 4: Compile the module to get the “loop.o”, and then install the modules.

#make modules
#make modules_install

Notes: remember to reboot your system after each time you do the changes to the kernel.

• Step 5: Add the modules support to the kernel, in the system memory:
  

#modprobe loop

#modprobe Cryptoloop

Notes: if this operation failed, try to do it again from step3, and check your kernel configuration again, and this may happen.
