You need a plain 2.0.30 _and_ the pre-patch-2.0.31-2 of David Miller
... URL is ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/davem/pre-patch-2.0.31-2.gz

After applying the patches pre-patch-2.0.31-2 and `the 17th July patch'
run

cp .config save.config
make mrproper
mv save.config .config
make config
make dep && make clean

now you are enabled to build and install the kernel ... if you are using
modules .. don't forget to run

make modules && make modules_install

Note: If your are using modules and kerneld a call

depmmod -a

should apear in your boot scripts _after_ checking and mounting the
local file systems
