I assume I go to /usr/src and run
patch < /home/arlene/computer/re.8106.diff 

Then rebuild the kernel with -DNO_MODULES and install under a different name, like kernelre?

I would install this on USB-stick installation, could do this for i386 USB-stick installation as well.

I can try assigning a static address to re4, not really sure how to set up manually, though I did it long ago in Slackware Linux.

I wouldn't have known size 2048 indicated something bad, though the message's presence and system crash indicated that something was fouled up in memory.
