I've looked at the above, and they contain the i386 and Alpha versions of the file, concated together, so I
removed the Alpha version from the file and then moved it to the place specified in the header, this seems to
have worked and now I'm running 2.0.20. Do I need to upgrade something (patch?) so I don't get this in future
kernels?

Thanks.
