I've applied both, this patch, and the 82371 patch.

1) I get a random error when in filo/grub menu.lst after pressing "p"
for password to manually edit my options while in grub.
A quick typed, not exact copy of the error --> "Attempt to free
non-allocated memory: 00000006".

2) /dev/sda2 seems to be easily recognized now.  (I'm guessing this is
the device tree fix?)

3) I now get a long hang at "Loading kernel".  I then get a very very,
if not sometimes permanent hang after "Jumping to Entry Point" is
printed to tty.  Sometimes the kernel loads at this point, sometimes it
never seems to. (82371 patch?)

(If I can get a minute or two more tonight, I'll try reversing the
patches one at a time, my guess is, the 82371 might be causing the
hang.)
