Let me repeat the original question above: is there any source of information (HOWTO or FAQ) for obtaining and using the Daystar patch?  If not, can you directly answer the question: where is this patch?  All I've found is a Google entry of a message from John Valdes with a diff from a couple months ago but after applying it, the kernel compile fails miserably.  BTW, I have a IIci with a PowerCache '030 50 Mhz no FPU.
