Yep.. worked fine.. when vfat didn't mount at bootup (probably because
the fat modules wasn't inserted before vfat), I mounted manually, and the
kerneld worked fine with insmod.. I thought it might have been a modules
problem, and was wondering if it were something that I had done wrong.. but
the patch worked, and I've just booted to 2.1.24 with no further problems so
far..

Thanks for all the help! :)
