the patch for 2.6.24.2 that I used didn't update the version number, it just stayed at
2.6.24.1 and i had to try re-patching a second time to get it to work, anyway my kernel
reports 2.6.24.1 and after patching and re-trying another compile - 2nd time, I re-tried the
exploit and it doesn't work no more. :) that means that the patch took..

however the only problem I had was when compiling the kernel and I just re-tried (the exploit)
for fun and it pretty much made the system a pain to reboot, and i could NOT start or stop any
processes, so in the end I had to hard reboot, altho when i did try the exploit, programs did
open up, somewhat and operate fine but the compile stopped and cpu went to 0%, it was actually
only trying to exit the terminal that it became blank, and a new shell/terminal wouldn't load
properly, etc..
oh well :) > by the way I stayed up all night so my brain is a bit slow right now. ^_^, also
that was the first time I patched a kernel & compiled it successfully.
