It seems very authentic to me.  Look at the descriptions of the build
process, (vanilla kernel + uClinux + ipodlinux, make a kernel, make an
fs, copy over, etc.), as well as the patch itself, which is 17000 lines
of authentic-looking insertions and deletions.  Since I don't have the
hardware or the time, I can't totally confirm it, but if it was a hoax,
it would have been quicker to just do it for real.

Linux has run on stranger things.

I'd put my name behind it.
