Ok, but this doesn't apply at all to the 2.6.39-stable kernel.

And .38-stable is end-of-life, as is .36-stable and .37-stable.

So, care to start all over again?

I need patches that apply to the .39-stable tree.

And then to any other stable kernel that you wish to have them apply to.
Currently "live" kernels are .32-longterm, .33-longterm, .34-longterm,
and .35-longterm.

thanks,
