Yes, there are more changes than I expected actually. Which means it may not even work at all. If you remove ungrok_partitions and use --ignore-whitespace the -2, -3 and -4 patches apply. Still, it may be left in some messy state. Anyway you may give it a try. > > SUGGESTION: Could the patches to the kernel source please be included in > the > kernel-source rpm? No unless you test them and confirm that they work. :-) -andrej
