Which BL3 are you using? In any case, a module from Slack 4.0 wouldn't work because it uses a different kernel (it uses 2.2.6). Previous BL3 releases used 2.2.16, so if you're trying this with something prior to 3.40, you'd want modules from Slack 7.1--which uses the same 2.2.16 kernel those previous versions of BL3 use. If you're trying this with 3.40, you need modules from Steven's site: he specially compiled a kernel for 3.40--the 2.2.26 kernel. He has modules to go with it at his download site. Based on which version you use, give one of these alternatives a try.
