I built 2.2.5 (and 2.2.3, and 2.0.35 and 2.0.36) and am having no luck
getting started. With 2.2.5 (no kernel patches -- can't find any that
apply or can be applied -- in fact all patching of these kernels failed for
me..??) So, what am I doing wrong? It must be something simple since I
haven't even started yet, right??? Thanks for all help and suggestions!
