So the first and maybe most important step
I can understand your pain. However, most of the changes made to the kernel-source are not i386-specific. In fact, if they were, they would not be causing these patch conflicts that you're seeing. So essentially throwing them out means that your architecture will miss out on all bug fixes. If this turns out to be what most of you want, then that's fine and I will do just that. -- Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is out!
