Trouble with knoppix-kernel.patch <-> any Kernel

[-Hawkeye-]

Hi there,

in the past few days i learned alot about remastering knoppix, and it's really fun :o)
Now, i'm trying to build my own 2.6.14.3 Kernel for the Knoppix.
I've downloaded the latest source from kernel.org and for now, i've trouble appling the knoppix-kernel.patch shipped with KX4.0.2 against just any kernel i've tested (2.6.12, 2.6.12.6, 2.6.13.4, 2.6.14.3)

Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?

Strange enought, this is a test with 2.6.12 (from Kernel.org), with is also shipped with KX 4.0.2:
(symlink /usr/src/linux set to /usr/src/linux-2.6.12)

Well, this patch file seems to be outdated.
I did this by hand, and the kernel is compiling now.
I'll let you know if this will end up with a booting kernel.

Change the #define COMMAND_LINE_SIZE 256 line to #define COMMAND_LINE_SIZE 512 in the following files:
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/param.h
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/setup.h
