Trying to build the proper kernel source tree for 2.4.17 available on the IBM developer works site. Specifically the following:
linux-2.4.17.tar.gz (original kernel source) + linux-2.4.17-s390.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.17-s390-1-lcs.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.17-s390-2.diff (IBM) The first one works great. but linux-2.4.17-s390-1-lcs.diff does not go very cleanly. This is what I got: # patch -p0 < /home/tkoyl/2.4.17/linux-2.4.17-s390-1-lcs.diff patching file linux-2.4.17/arch/s390/defconfig Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R?

File linux-2.4.17/drivers/s390/net/lcs.c is not empty after patch, as expected 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file linux-2.4.17/drivers/s390/net/lcs.c.rej Not sure what is happening with the lcs.c file here. Within the patch it looks like a complete rewrite of the file. Has anyone run into this and have a possible solution?
