Patching Debian Kernel Source

["Patrick Beard" <patrick@scotcomms.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have compiled the Kernel-source-2.6.0-test9 from testing. All is working
well with the exception of my smartmedia. This is giving me a 'wrong fs
type' 99 time out of 100 mounts. From what I've managed to find out 2.6 does
FAT checking that 2.4 (my previous kernel) didn't. There appears to be a fix
in the latest patch (2.6.0-test9-bk17) on kernel.org. Can I apply this patch
to the source, or will that screw up the 'Debianization' of the source. My
other thought was to manually apply the changes to /fs/fat/inode.c, but I'm
not sure if that's a good idea.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
