[K42-discussion] Out of date Linux kernel patches?

[Patrick Bozeman]

Thanks. 

I have a full build now, although, I haven't booted it yet.

I did run into one problem with the tar ball that you pointed me at.

kitchsrc/os/kernel/linux/arch/powerpc/ConfigureArch.C:199 has an
INITCALL(ibmveth_module_init) statement.  Because of this, without
applying the following minor patch to my linux-029 config file, the
build failed to link.
