You can unpatch your 2.4.12-ac by using "patch" they way you usually do, but with adding "-R" (stands for Reverse) to the command line. Example: $ pwd /usr/local/src/linux $ zcat patch-2.4.12-ac5.gz | patch -R -p1 But if you always want to have Alan Cox's tree, I would recommend <http://www.bzimage.org>. They always publish incremental AC patches (eg. 2.4.12-ac1 -> 2.4.12-ac2), even between different versions of the Linus tree. This way, when 2.4.13-ac1 will be released, you'll have to patch 2.4.12 to the latest AC version and then you can download a patch that will upgrade 2.4.12-ac5 (or whatever will be the last AC patch for .12) to 2.4.13-ac1.
