Hi, Flame aside ... let's look at technical side.

I am not an expert but I think you should try along what Herbert Xu suggested which seems to give you very easy path to patch files. I did not know but looks very nice. $ apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.22 kernel-patch-debian-2.4.22 $ tar xjf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.22.tar.bz2 $ cd /usr/src/kernel-patch There is a file /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.4.22/debian/list whose content goes like: --------- # This file is sorted by patch dependency. The patch which applies to the # upstream kernel must come first. patch-2.4.22-1 2.4.22 2.4.22-1 --------- This seem to offer very good path to apply patch to the upstream kernel which must be applied first. Did you try using this? Osamu
