modutils-2.4.9-1.src.rpm        As above, in SRPM format

Related kernel patches.

patch-2.4.2-persistent.gz       Adds persistent data and generic string
				support to kernel 2.4.2 onwards.  Optional.

Changelog extract

	* Update to latest config.guess/sub from ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/config.
	* Add sh (super-h) support from Niibe Yutaka.
	* IEEE1394 support by Kristian Hogsberg, cleaned up by KAO.
	* Add support for Alpha GPREL16, GPRELHIGH, GPRELLOW relocs.
	  Fix short data section allocation order for Alpha and IA-64.
	  Don't relocate non-allocated sections.  Richard Henderson.
	* Mark the kernel as tainted for non-GPL modules or insmod -f.

That last addition goes with the MODULE_LICENSE patch from Alan Cox and
my patch for /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, mailed to linux-kernel on
September 25, 07:00 GMT.  If /proc/sys/kernel/tainted exists and you
load a module with no license you will get a warning and the kernel
will be tainted, expect a lot of warnings until AC has all modules
patched.  Even if /proc/sys/kernel/tainted does not exist, loading a
module that has MODULE_LICENSE other than GPL or using insmod -f will
result in a warning.
