Hi Simon, > 1) Quilt moans about the patch version, think I had to do this on > Debian Squeeze as well. Hmm, I don't remember seeing this before. Is this a fatal moan, or just something that scrolls by?

However, I can't find any indication in the patch sources that it is needed. AFAIU, this patch deals with patch --version outputting something like "GNU patch 2.6.1". However, on my Debian sid system, it just says "patch 2.6.1". Looking at the sources, the OpenSuse 11.4 version should also? What does "patch --version" say on your system? > 2) Cannot download the kernel sources. > I noted a email about this on this mailing list.

Only a nubie like me would go to mips-linx and download > 2.6.21.7 as it seems like the file :-) Hmm, I doubt that kernel.org would drop old versions. They seem to be still present on ftp.kernel.org, but not on www.kernel.org. However, some of the links on www.kernel.org give a 404 as well, so I suspect there has been some kind of oversight. I've mailed the ftpadmin and webmaster of kernel.org about this, I'll keep you posted of the outcome. Gr. Matthijs
