Yes, but I forgot to send one patch, which is really necessary to run
Linux on the Hades. Here it follows (relative to 2.1.42):

Unfortunately this is not enough to get the kernel running. When doing
disk access the kernel generates the following error messages:

kmem_free: Either bad obj addr or double free (objp=0217e800,
name=size-512)
