After installing the new patchkit my kernel was to big to boot.
So I take Julians new boot block. But the machine reboots after
loading the kernel.

Am I right to set the load address to 0xFE100000 in the Makefile?
Is this the only place I have to edit if the kernel is to big to load?

Because I have updated from an older patchkit I am not sure, if
there are some broken files. Therefor I want to reinstall the
original sources. Can someone tell me if this is the right way:

   cd /usr/src
   rm -rf *
   'install' src01*             # like _they_ say in the FAQ
   'install' bin-h.cpio.Z       # from 'agate'
   'install' patchkit-0.2.2.tar # install is something like cpio and tar

Did I miss something or did I have then all Files. Is there any
'script for the dumb ones' like the one in the FAQ for installing with
the 'fixit'-disk? (that one was great, thank you).
Is there any FTP-server with a 'big' kernel including the new patchkit?

Thanks in advance, /gT/
