I'm getting really confused. I can't install anything but Vanilla kernel 2.2.20 because 3.0ra5 and 3.1 hand during install on my advancesys scsi card.
And i want to run a raid drive, mdadm keeps telling me it needs ver 0.9 of summat. So i got the file kernel-patch-2.2.20-raid_4_all.deb. i was reading an article at http://homex.subnet.at/~max/comp-15_raid.php and it says, Get the raid-0.90-patch "raid-2.2.19-A1" from http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raid-patches/ and copy it to /usr/src. cd /usr/src patch -p0 < raid-2.2.19-A1 I got the suggested copy, but one called raid-2.2.2--A0 and did what he suggested but i got several hump fails. Humps are quite daunting whey you don't know what your doing :o( So i then found the .deb package, which i thought would be more suitable, cos it's deb So i downloaded it and did a dpkg-deb -x kernel-patch-2.2.20-radi_4_all.deb /usr/src/ but it gave me lots and lots of subdirectories under /usr/src and files called apply, unpatch and raid.bz2, which isn't mentioned in the how to above. It created /usr/src/usr /usr/src/usr/share /usr/src/usr/src /usr/src/usr/share/doc /usr/src/usr/share/doc/kernel-patch-2.2.20-raid /usr/src/usr/src/kernel-patches /usr/src/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386 /usr/src/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/2.2.20 /usr/src/usr/src/kernel-patches/i386/2.2.20/apply raid.bz2 unpatch So i'm confused as to what to do. Can anybody point me in the right direction for applying the raid patch and going from there. Many thanks Ken -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
