Hi Again Cheryl: After looking at your install output I don't think you have anything to worry about. Those patches which failed are because the pieces which failed have been included in the normal kernel code. I just haven't had time to update the cvs yet. You can just continue from that point with a make oldconfig and so forth. They are all to do with the make menuconfig which shouldn't affect the general compilation of the system.
