patch kernel 2.4.21 (including the arm-linux patch rmk2) with the latest CVS snapshot

["Tobias Arp" <tobiasarp@web.de>]

 Hi 
 
i tried to patch my arm linux kernel 2.4.21 (rmk2 patch) with the latest CVS snapshot. I had 
follwing errors: 
 
1. While making xconfig after patching the kernel (Options: Copy files, update fs) i had a 
problem making xconfig. This kernel release seems not to support elif in Config-files. I 
comment these lines out because they don't affect my configuration. After this it works. 
 
2. I get some warnings and errors messages while make zImage:

Has someone made the same experience ? 
 
I have another question: Before i made the patch i have configured my flash partitions in 
physmap.c where do i configure it now (after applying the patch) ? 
 
Regards
