Well, the exact wording of the error messages could help...

Things to check:
What exact version is your kernel?
You have "options LKM" in the kernel config file, as well as "options
INSECURE" if you want to attach the LKM by hand?
Did the patch apply cleanly? The patch file was generated against a 1.3.2
machdep.c, which has changed from the 1.3 one, afaik.

That woould be interesting in any case. I expect similar difficulties as
with the Q630, but you never know...
