After downloading each of the 7 .gz-patches, applying them without any
complains, I started to compile the new bzImage, but I got an error
in relation to the FAT support. By switching this support off
everything'll compile without any further problem though, and I can
boot from this image even.. :-)

<out of subject>
Before appending the error messages I want to know if `shm' is named
`shmem' in 2.5 (it seems so anyway)?

Hope it will be fixed ASAP.

FYI:
CONFIG_FAT_FS=y
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
