This hunk we can probably remove, i doubt anyone is using powerpc processors over some intel PIIX chipset, if i am doing it correctly. > What's more, the build of the official kernel-image packages just > rolls over these errors.

Well, this is probably because the debian version specific patch handling got removed (by you) from the 2.4.26 kernels. In 2.4.25 we would not have had this problem. That said, 2.4.26 just recently escaped NEW, i will redo the patching as soon as alioth is fixed. Well, i will redo it earlie, but submit once alioth is fixed. Friendly, Sven Luther
