An example of this is that the Makefile will expect "patches" directory
under "degas", but there is no such directory. The actual patches directory
is buried somewhere near "kgicon", I think (can't remember right now). I
also had to fix some scripts to look in "os/Linux" (there was an error with
the directory name). This was from a snapshot of a couple of days ago, so
it may have been fixed already.

You've suggested the use of >2.1.114 kernel, but 2.1.105 was the greatest
kernel version for which the patches existed in the snapshot that I used.

Thanks for the help with the MediaGX issues. I will try out the new
snapshot soon.

I have a few new questions:

1. I was playing with modules today and I get these error messages from
modprobe "modprobe ... Out of file handle". What does it mean and how do I
fix that?
2. In the patched and rebuilt kernel 2.1.105 I lost the screen scroll
capability (Shift+PgUp and Shift+PgDown). Why did this happen and how do I
get it back?

Thanks.

Nikita.
