The ide-probe.diff goes in correctly, as does the ide-floppy-1.diff. The other ones fail on one part around the same chunk of code. I am going to look at the rejects and see if I can figure out what they failed. All failures are in modifying drivers/ide/ide-floppy.c ide-floppy-2.diff failed hunk #14 at line 1740. ide-floppy-3.diff failed hunk #2 at line 1755. ide-floppy-4.diff failed hunk #7 at line 1778. The test was against linux-2.4.18-11mdk.
