Again, the Gentoo Portage bestcrypt does not work for me, installing manually works fine... :(
Comment 1 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2005-01-03 15:09:56 UTC 
that insmod line above is wrong, it has to be: 
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/block/bc.ko
Sorry for the mistake!
Comment 2 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-03 22:04:22 UTC 
Hopefully fixed in bestcrypt-1.5_p9-r1.ebuild
Comment 3 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2005-01-04 06:00:58 UTC 
Confirmed!
But there is a new Bug when running bctool!
