Set up yum
# yum install yum-utils
# yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config unifdef `
yumdownloader –source kernel –enablerepo core-source –enablerepo updates-source
### Install Kernel Sources
mkdir /usr/src/redhat # due to packaging problem, I guess
rpm -ivh kernel-$(uname -r).src.rpm
`
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec Copy dm.h into the right place
# cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.19/linux-2.6.19.$(uname -p)/drivers/md/dm.h /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)-$(uname -m)/drivers/md/ Get and unpack truecrypt sources
Get truecrypt source.
# tar xfz truecrypt-4.2a-source-code.tar.gz -C /tmp Patch the truecrypt source to cope with dm.h ‘issues’
Patch is
truecrypt-4.2a-Dm-target.c–kernel-2.6.18-and-2.6.19.patch
, put this in the main truecrypt-4.2a directory (which contains the Linux directory).
# cd /tmp
# mv truecrypt-4.2a-Dm-target.c--kernel-2.6.18-and-2.6.19.patch truecrypt-4.2a/
# cd truecrypt-4.2a/
# patch -p1 < truecrypt-4.2a-Dm-target.c--kernel-2.6.18-and-2.6.19.patch
# cd Linux Build truecrypt for real
Using /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)-$(uname -m)/ as location of linux sources when prompted
# cd Linux
# ./build.sh Install truecrypt module
# su - # to get /sbin/modprobe into path
# ./install.sh Load truecrypt module
# /sbin/modprobe truecrypt
