[Openswan Users] Openswan 2.4.6rc5 under CentOS 4.3

[Bas Rijniersce]

Hello,

I'm trying to get Openswan running in a CentOS 4.3 environment. I want to 
modify as little as possible so that the machine can be kept up to date 
easily. I'd rather not compile a special kernel, but if that's the only 
solution, no problem.

It's running kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL. Installed the kerneldevel RPM (and 
kernel src rpm as well). I compiled openswan with:
make KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ module minstall (and same for 
progs)

Module seems to load fine, lsmod shows as loaded. I do get quite a bit of 
output on the console that I don't know is normal:

The problem is when I restart the machine, or just restart the service. I 
panic's :-) Not a good thing for a box that will be hidden in a closet in 
India :)

I video of the crash can be found at: http://www.brijn.nu/openswan_crash.avi

This machine is running in VMware at the moment. I have the same problem in 
a "real" machine (identical setup)

Can I build the module as I did, should that work OK? Any other suggestion 
on what might be wrong?

Thank you very much for your time!
