I'm finally trying this up, but I can't make it go. I compiled 
cryptsetup-legacy.tar.gz using the script "compile.sh". I have 
kernel-source installed (I'm running my own compiled kernel).

nimrodel:~/bin/cryptsetup-legacy # ./compile.sh
patching file dm-crypt.c
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.8-0.1-obj/i386/default'
make -C ../../../linux-2.6.18.8-0.1 O=../linux-2.6.18.8-0.1-obj/i386/default modules
  CC [M]  /root/bin/cryptsetup-legacy/dm-crypt.o
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
  CC      /root/bin/cryptsetup-legacy/dm-crypt.mod.o
  LD [M]  /root/bin/cryptsetup-legacy/dm-crypt.ko
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.8-0.1-obj/i386/default'
ok, now run insmod ./dm-crypt.ko


But:


nimrodel:~/bin/cryptsetup-legacy # insmod ./dm-crypt.ko
insmod: error inserting './dm-crypt.ko': -1 Invalid module format


The kernel log shows:

Apr 16 00:19:05 nimrodel kernel: dm_crypt: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module


My guess is that it doesn't work because I'm not using kernel-default, but 
my compiled version. How should I modify the compile script?

Perhaps I should add my own directory to "/usr/src/linux-obj/i386/" (I 
don't know how), or copy the modified dm-crypt.c to 
/usr/src/linux/drivers/md/ and recompile the whole module tree? The last 
one probably needs rebooting.
