I had this same problem, but everything is working fine now for me. You must apply first all pending patches otherwise it will fail. (If a pending patch cannot be applied/failed at applying, that does not matter.)
I suggest using make patch-o-matic from userspace/. There are pre-requisite patches neccesary for it to work properly. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ing.
