Yes, that's the right one. However, you need the patch to arch/i386/bbot/setup.S that was in the same directory where you downloaded loadlin.exe.gz from. (see below)

What did you recompile with Borland 3.1? Loadlin? I assume you used TASM. Anyway, you then also should have recompiled srclinux/pgadjust.c with GCC (under Linux), because this is the one which contains the fix. Better use the precompiled binary (though you have the source;-)

The complete patch is in 2.1.24-patch1.gz from Alan Cox. I just yesterday tried 2.1.24 + Alan's 2.1.24-patch1. ... and it loads fine with loadlin-1.6a on my machine.
