stanituo 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Hi, I dont'know if this is the right place to insert my question. I've a Mandriva 2008.1, with kernel: # uname -r 2.6.24.7-laptop-3mnb and during boot I've this warning: modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting padlock_aes (/lib/modules/2.6.24.7-laptop-3mnb/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko.gz): No such device so my question is: what's padlock_aes module? what for? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
