Dear Frank,
I have sucessfully patched SuSE 7.1 2.2.18 and 2.2.19 kernels and I'm using
reiserfs. The main thing I found is that if you have to use the Win4Lin SuSE
2.2.18 patches for both of the SuSE kernels. The generic patches do not seem
to work.
>From memory on the SuSE 2.2.19 kernel the patch will fail on apm.c and you
need to hand edit the file.
Regards,
Graham Smith
