Thanks for the reply, however, I still get an error when I issue the command. What directory should I be in when I execute it? When I try make coloneconfig in the /usr/src/linux directory it responds with # make: ***No Rule to make target ** Stop.

I have 2.4.21-15 Kernel installed according to YaST.

If you got the correct kernel you can read following: /usr/src/linux/Makefile Line 379 cloneconfig: symlinks [snip] If not you have the false kernel. Maybe I forgot:

...

make coloneconfig && make deps

means: cd /usr/src/linux && make coloneconfig && make deps

# make: ***No Rule to make target ** Stop.

Means you are not in the right directory for building the kernel cloneconfig. This is SuSE specific, the kernel from www.kernel.org does not have this option. Before you compile any modules for free swan or other stuff you must have ther correct kernel. This even helps with the nvidia-drivers (error while you run nvidia setupfile if you want to use up-to-date nvidia drivers). If there are afterwards errors read the manual (README or INSTALL file) provided by the packages for any hints. Philippe

I manged to do this after just looking in the Makefile in zz_freeswan and randomly making some of the interesting looking targets I found there! :) Try... make klink make patch ...then go into the kernel directory, make menuconfig or make xconfig as you prefer, find the Freeswan options switch them on and recompile the kernel as per normal. I'd recommend switching on debug in the options. It still isn't enabled by default but it allows you to switch it on if needed.

I then issued the following commands # cd /usr/src/linux # make xconfig (left all the default settings in xconfig) # make dep # make bzImage # cd /usr/src/kernel-module/zz_freeswan # make xgo

If you got kernel-source fresh installed, the config does not match the installed one.

make coloneconfig && make deps

Makes the configfile from SuSE original config and the deps needed by kernel-source.

Afterwards do, what is said in the manual, e.g.:

cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/zz_freeswan && make xgo
