Re: Problems using the grsecurity kernel source patch package in woody.
It looks like it could be that you configured the kernel, then applied
the patch. My suggestion would be to
1) rm -rf the current kernel-source dir.
2) untar "clean" source
3) while in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 run
../kernel-patches/all/apply/grsecurity (I think that's the correct path)
4) run "make config"
5) run make-kpkg
hope that helps
