Problems recompiling 2.6.8

Hi all,
Can't find any problems related to compilng kernel 2.6.8 in the forum so I guess its just me doing something weird.
Well, I upgraded to stock 2.6.8 last night and all went fine. Then I decided to recompile with ABS today and all went fine. Then I was messing around with iptables and realised I needed some other modules so I went for another recompile - for some reason this time it keeps borking out on me. All I've changed is the config and the md5s in the PKGBUILD - this is the output I get:

Does anyone have any suggestions here?If I'd changed something major then it would give me a clue about what to fix.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Problems recompiling 2.6.8

I had a thought that it might be a problem with my recompiled kernel so I reinstalled the stock 2.6.8 and booted into that...tried my edited config and the same thing happens. THen, I rerun ABS and though I would try to recompile the kernel just using the stock PKGBUILD and making no changes at all - still get the same error. Seems like for some reason now I can't get past this error at patching init/main.c....

Re: Problems recompiling 2.6.8

Me again
IT seems like its the acpi file that the PKGBUILD needs that's causing the problem-I removed it from the PKGBUILD and it compiled fine (I have yet to load it and test it tho)...I can't find any news item or forum thread relating to what this file is and whether it's important or not, can anyone let me know?
On a side note, when I just ran makepkg the acpi.diff file wouldn't download - I had to go get it myself - is there an error in the url in the PKGBUILD?
nobody else seems to be having any trouble here, which is making me a bit paranoid!

Re: Problems recompiling 2.6.8

Ta Greeno, but I'm stuck...
I reverted back to a previous kernel version and everything's OK.
I'd sure like to know what the problem was tho.
