Hi Gregg, > Hello from Gregg C Levine > I don't know why, Andrew, but the patch your company supplied via the > FTP site, for the 2.4.19 kernel, applied correctly, and I was able to > build the kernel.

Do I need to > upgrade them for attempting to build the later kernels? It did work here. I was able to boot from DOC, then mount ide hd and kexec the kernel without any problem. Since the patch is pretty old, it might be a problem if you are using the latest kexec program. Have you tried older version?
