to use the patch, you also have to select the persistent
context id for files (first option on filesystems)

sounds good so far, but you should also select the
hardware your system actually provides/has .. if you
don't want to do that, you can always use the config
file from solucorp and do the folowing

# wget ftp://ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/vserver/config-2.4.22

# cd linux-2.4.23
# cp ../config-2.4.22 .config
# make oldconfig

after you have done make menuconfig (or make oldconfig)
you have to do make dep (as stated in the friendly
message if you leave the previous make which looks like
*** Next, you must run 'make dep'. ;)

# make dep >../Dep.log

> 323 make bzImage modules modules_install
> (error about ext3)

I would first do a

# make bzImage modules >../Build.log

just to see if everything compiles ...

if that was okay (except for some warnings), you can
do the install (modules_install)

by the way, I exactly did what you described (except
for adding the mandatory make dep) and it worked
without any issues, if you have troubles doing this,
please send me the error messages, and I'll have a
look at it ...

HTH,
