Yes, the following patches failed with the specific files:

     2.4.20-i2c-1-patch
       * drivers/i2c/Config.in
     2.4.20-i2c-2-patch
       * include/linux/i2c-id.h
       * include/linux/i2c.h

I changed the name, but I also uploaded the corrected patches with the
2.4.21 prefix. All of the other 2.4.20 patches could be renamed with
the 2.4.21 prefix and new regeneration of the patches are unnecessary.

I also downloaded the 2.8.0 stuff and tested it out on my dual Athlon
machine. I have uploaded the 2.8.0 patches for 2.4.21 to my ftp site
as well. There were two modules, scx200_acb.c and scx200_i2c.c that did
not compile. These patches have also been uploaded. The link again is:
