Tried but could not get it to work. Main observations:
1. topdir does not contain a Makefile (though simply dropping in 2.1.13 Makefile seems OK) 2. genksyms directory's files are inconsistent with Makefile in that directory, so it won't build 3. after installing all except genksyms I couldn't still run anything; following lsmod with GDB I see that query_module returns EFAULT (hmm, rather than installing I should say mv'ing files), depmod -a still complains about unresolved symbols like this (invoked with -e flag):
*** Unresolved symbols in module /lib/modules/2.1.18/fs/binfmt_aout.o __this_module do_mmap current_set open_namei get_write_access put_write_access iput printk flush_old_exec read_exec open_inode sys_close send_sig lookup_exec_domain setup_arg_pages register_binfmt unregister_binfmt
patching source tree back to 2.1.17 for now...
