There is no tested patchset for 2.6.23, so none will be applied by default. There are ways to apply the patches anyway. "arch-arm" contains AT91 specific patches "arch-avr" contain AVR32 specific patches "linux" contain a merged patchset supporting both AT91 and AVR32. The linux and Linux directories can be merged into one directory (linux). There is one duplicated file for 2.6.20.4 which should be removed. > Kind Regards, > Thiago A.
