[Click] [PATCH] patches for linux 2.6.24

[Ashish Sharma]

Hi Javier,
That worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the help. When I received your
email, I was banging my head against the wall while doing the kernel
compilation for the 4th time thinking it was something that I did wrong in
the config file and it never even occurred to me that they could break the
make-kpkg/dpkg kernelbuild process  in Hardy. My neighbors thank you for
making me stop banging against their wall :)

I was trying to apply all the patches instead of the one-shot patch which
was creating all the problem.
