Yes, you are absolutely right, I have mixed the message on a mistake.
But I really at first have established all patches on source texts of
a kernel. And modules for the controller of a parent payment are
available only for versions of a kernel 2.4.18 and 2.4.20.
And when I try to compile and load them I receive the message,
that it not that version of a kernel. :(
The order of my actions such:
I have remounted /tmp and have increased it up to 400 Mb
# mount tmpfs /tmp -t tmpfs -osize=400M
And also has remounted /usr/src
Also has create the symlynk /tmp/kernel/linux-2.4.32/usr/src/linux
Has applied patches linux-2.4.32-ow1 and patch-cryptoloop-jari-2.4.32-ow1
Has copied /boot/.config in a tree of source codes
And
# make menuconfig
Has included emulation SCSI in the form of the module, support SATA, controllers
# make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules
I load the module of emulation SCSI.
And then, when I try to load modules of the controller I receive
mistakes.

You are absolutely right, I had to specify in BIOS what to consider
SATA-devices on the given controller as IDE-disks.
Then, when I have made a monolithic kernel with support of my devices
and was loaded from it speed of work with a disk became 56-58 Mb/sec
If I do any inexcusable mistakes I ask to not judge me strictly.
Before I used and I use on servers of Linux-system which use
other approach in installation.
It Trustix Secure Linux, RedHat, Slackware.
But always wished to try in work Openwall Linux.
Now I study system. It all more and is pleasant to me more. :)
Certainly there are many questions which I try to solve all over again,
And if it is impossible - to address to community.
Big all thanks for the help!
