Hi Axel, Sorry for the late answer, I was away from home for a few days. > I just saw that there is 2.8.2 available for some weeks now.

Shouldn't be too much trouble. Drivers tend to be added, not removed, so all you'll have to do is not apply patches for drivers that did not exist in 2.4.20 yet (which is what I did myself when building the 2.8.0 patch for kernel 2.4.21, so you can just pick the list here). Also, I guess that the i2c core patch won't apply cleanly, but you can always regenerate it using the mkpatch.pl script. So it seems to be feasable. And in fact I could even update my 2.4.21 patch from 2.8.0 to 2.8.2. I though nobody would be interested in it, but obviously you, at least, are. I want to have a new patch for 2.4.24-preX anyway, so I'll some work on the web page and files soon. That said, please note that there is not much change between 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 and that lm_sensors 2.8.2 will work with i2c 2.8.1. So if you already have a kernel with 2.8.1 working, you could consider skipping i2c 2.8.2 completely. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
