I have tried the releaseDpatch.tgz on a recent 2.2.3 kernel. After patching, I find two rejects: a reject for the toplevel Makefile concerning the version number and one in arch/i386/irq.c which rejects the changes to the function do_IRQ. Both can be easily solved by manually editing the affected files. After this the build completes without problems. However, when I try to boot the kernel, I get the following messages (reconstructed to the best of my knowledge) Linux version 2.2.3.RTL0D (root@maxi) (gcc version egcs-2.91.58 19981101 (egcs-1.1.1 pre-release)) #2 Sun Feb 28 04:55:41 CET 1999 Detected 166092979 Hz processor.
