I have already searched the web and have already read the first paper you recommended...i have even found another forum (in another site ) where another guy had the same problem but i did not find even there what i wanted.... i also tried the patch-kernel script but when i type it it says: current kernel version is 2.4.20
I then used the linux and /usr/src parameters (to define source and patch location) ant it shows the help info....
So i think i did everything i could (or not?).....can you help me???
