2.4 apparently has the patches merged into a config option. as for 2.2 mol DOES sucessfully patch the kernel, or so it says, its just that after forcing the mismatched modules in and attempting to run mol that it claims the kernel patches are too old, mismatched or something like that. so its either the modules didn't work, or it mispatched the kernel (!) -- Ethan Benson who finds the idea of patching a running kernel hideous http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
