Can you try un-reverting that patch, and applying this one? Sorry for the newbie question, but is it adequate to do a: git reset --hard v2.6.21-rc2 To ensure a patch is "unreverted" (I reverted it with "git revert"), before applying your patch? I've done so now, assuming this _will_ work. The reason I ask is that your diff was offset by 12 lines versus -rc2. -- Cheers, Alistair.
