I had to give up on this and see if anybody else had an idea. I was fixing up the powerpc patch package for 2.2.12 and found this odd error during the build process.
The rules file for a kernel build calls make-kpkg which runs "run-parts" over the /usr/src/kernel-patches/powerpc/apply/ directory. In that directory is the 0powerpc script which applies the diff present with "zcat <file> | patch -l -s -p1" and stamps the top level so apply/unapply can see if the patch was already applied. Unfortunately, the zcat | patch line fails and run-parts claims that the script is returning an error 139. What's even better is that I cannot reproduce this error by running the 0powerpc script directly from the shell...the apply/unapply process works fine. I am running kernel 2.2.9 w/some board specific patches and the latest bash. TIA, -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is Linux Country. On a quiet night, you can hear Windows reboot.
