Paul, do you mean in general or in morphix?

At least the compiled packages are not for 2.6.22-5 ... I didn't get 
time to build my own.

But I worked on the cloop kernel module: In 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=436090 a new version of 
it is pointed out that has not entered unstable yet.  Since I didn't get 
along with Klaus Knopper's debian/rules I copied compressed_loop.c 
 
                                     and compressed_loop.h from his new 
package into the unpacked Debian source package and rebuilt... the 
result should be a brand new morphix-suitable cloop kernel module 
package, which I didn't get to try out yet...

Did you make any progress?
