Folks;
Running fresh install of 3.8.1
apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.11
// created /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.11.tar/bz2
bunzip2 < kernel-source-2.6.11.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
cd kernel-source-2.6.11
patchh -p1 < ../knoppix-kernel.patch

FAILED all over the place

The ..../kernel/setup.c ,for example, doesn't even have the lines used for allignmamet at line 195.
If this is outdated, get rid of it....
