Your best bet would be to use the vanilla linux-2.4.21. untar it in /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 and apply your patch.. Keep in mind that you can use 'kernel-package' to build debs even for the non-debian kernel sources.

And built the debs with 'kernel-package' Regards On Fri, 2003-06-27 at 17:27, Joerg Johannes wrote: > Hello everybody > > I (like many others in the last few days) have a problem with kernel > 2.4.21.
