[Fwd: Patch troubles]

--- Begin Message ---


Thanks for your post.  After starting with a clean kernel source and
following your instructions, the patch attempt still results in scads of
skipped hunks and .rej files.  It seems clear there is a major problem
somewhere.  I'm sure I haven't looked far enough to learn how to correct
the .rej files or guess the underlying problem, but I just don't have
the time.  I'll wait for the 2.1 kernel to graduate to stable.

Thanks again.
