yes, it's known although i didn't test it with exactly this kernel and 
only guess it's 32bit kernel with > 4G ram support

aside of this, the problem is for all 2.6.25 kernels due to decision of 
kernel developers to build security module into the kernel and not as 
module as it was in previous version, for example 2.6.22 kernel in 10.3. 
furthermore they made impossible to compile kernel with security as 
module and the total result is you cannot use dazuko like in 10.3...

and this is only the beginning :-)

now there are 2 options to make dazuko run with 2.6.25 kernel:
1) build kernel with dazuko module in
2) use dazuko with redirfs or nullfs

but... each of these options fails:

1) dazuko expects other include/linux/security.h include file
details here: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dazuko-help/2008-06/msg00018.html

2a) redirfs compiles but dazuko again expects different headers and also 
redirfs is still considered unstable (ver. 0.3-pre2, http://www.redirfs.org)

2b) dazuko with nullfs (DazukoFS) fails... guess why :-)

it's unclear why the headers are different than expected from dazuko
