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.
