I think a portion of the problem, is that the full patches don't live at
home yet, which had me patching before I found all the other patches. I
noticed only 1.0..1.2 in the changelog, which didn't exist in other
places. The PPC linux kernel is basically the same.
I have now seen the light :-)

Ok, cdemo tests fail. What are the requirements from admin for
modification to cdemo if needed? Sorry I have to ask, sometimes people
have various reasons for not allowing specific modifications.
