I guess the patch from 2.4.12 up to 13 must be bad or something. I used the patches from 2.4.9 to 12 and that all worked fine. Then I had the problems reported this weekend when trying to go to 13. I started with a fresh tar ball from 2.4.13 today and followed the same steps as before including the .config previously used and got the one prompt I mentioned in another message; that was probably added with 2.4.13 - no problem there. It compile ok and I am now using that version. Bottom line: the patch is bad or got dammaged with a download. The kernel-patch script didn't mention any errors though. Makes me wonder how good the patches are. Usually it is a nice easy efficient way to upgrade kernels without the huge download.
