2.5.74 is some crufty ancient old thing.

ext3_read_inode() got reorganised. Your latest patch will not apply to
current kernels.

The diff for the current devel kernel is always available at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/testing/cset/

The "gzipped full patch". You should use that when generating and testing
changess.

There is even a nice patch-script for it:
