First off, you will need to patch the kernel. 2.6.15 is not all the way there, but GregKH has the necessary patches available to make it work. I used http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-all-2.6.15.patch


Patch the kernel? Exactly why?


<guess>
I doubt that this big patch is needed as a whole. Probably, Jim meant some parts of it:

1) Add modalias support so that the rule containing "modprobe $modalias" autoloads more drivers:

driver/ide-modalias-support-for-autoloading-of-ide-cd-ide-disk.patch
driver/input-add-modalias-support.patch
driver/input-fix-add-modalias-support-build-error.patch

Actually it wouldn't work with out the entire patch, some of the other patches have fixes ie the net-fs fix is very important.
