Re: chkrootkit and LKM?

You should reinstall. init is usually reemplaced with a infected one that inserts the rootkit module in the kernel, and the same with many other programs.

If you have the same OS version in another machine you could check the md5sum of all the binaries, and reemplace them from the clean machine, booting from an uninfected source like a CD or in another machine installing without booting from it the infected hard disc.

Anyway, I would never trust that machine anymore. I recomend to backup only the data and reinstall the OS.
