Hi all,
Has anyone used TrueCrypt on a XEN based machine before? I'm running CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18 but when I launch TrueCrypt, it keeps on telling me I need kernel 2.6.24 or later.
"Your system uses an old version of the Linux Kernel.
Due to a bug in the Linux Kernel, your system may stop responding when writing data to a TrueCrypt volume. This problem can be solved by upgrading the kernel version to 2.6.24 or later"
Now, the CentOS repositories doesn't have 2.6.24, so do I have to build the kernel manually? And will there be any problems when doing so? I like to just run "yum update" when needed.
Here's the output from the machine:
Linux zaxen02.lan 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Nov 12 09:48:10 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
