I just installed patchkit 0.2.4 and I had a couple of problems.

1) patch 158, part 6 wouldn't install.  It kept saying that hunk #5
   had problems (line 124).  I had to edit patches so that it would
   call patch with the -l parameter (ignore whitespace during line
   matching)

2) when I boot, the sio driver claims that I have 8 8250 chips.  I
   actually have 8 16550s (it's a hostess 550 card).  Looking through
   sio.c, it looks like it won't use the FIFOs.  Is there a fix for
   this?

3) I was getting stray intr 7 messages until I configed in an lpt
   device.  Ok, this one is a user error.  I just though that I'd
   mention this for the benefit of anyone else who sees it.

4) vmstat -i give strange output now.  What do all of those new
   entries mean?

Other than these, things work great!  I especially like CODRV, virtual
consoles are pretty neat things.
