Aborting. There is a patch that is named patch-2.4.21.rc8-final.bz2 in http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/incr/ maybe it is that patch you want to use
you have to change the download uri too: http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/2.4/testing/old/patch-${PV/_/-}.bz2 (I use the mirror belnet.be) but it is the extra "old" dir in the first line the diff gives: 23c23 < http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/2.4/testing/patch-${PV/_/-}.bz2 --- > http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/2.4/testing/old/patch-${PV/_/-}.bz2 this solve the problem. eske
