Ive been running Debian 3.0r2. Ive been using the string matching patch on my old 2.4.x kernel. But i upgraded my kernel to 2.6.5. Now im trying to add the string matching patch to the new kernel but im getting error. Has anyone compiled the string matching patch on a 2.6.x kernel? Im getting an error saying... "Could not find place to slot in Config.in line"...
