hello Benjamin and Antoine, thanks for the reply and here are the answers:
My system is running Debian distribution (Sarge 3.1) with kernel version 2.6.14 and MIPL2.0 In order to use MIPL2.0.1 i wanted to upgrade my system to kernel version 2.6.15. so i downlaoded the patch from kernel.org (and not the Debian sources) in /usr/src as follows: wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.15.gz [in /usr/src] ( i used the patch-2.6.15.gz released on 03-jan-2006 and not the later release) Then i gunziped it and applied the patch by executing the "patch-kernel" script under /usr/src/linux/scripts/patch-kernel and that is when i got the following HUNK fail messages........... Current kernel version is 2.6.14 (Affluent Albatross) Applying patch-2.6.15 (plaintext)... 1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/net/ipv6.h.rej 4 out of 32 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/addrconf.c.rej Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Skipping patch. 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/datagram.c.rej Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!

Skipping patch. 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/ipv6_syms.c.rej 1 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/raw.c.rej 1 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/route.c.rej 1 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/ipv6/udp.c.rej 1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c.rej failed. Clean up yourself. cannot find patch file: patch-2.6.15.9999 since i didnt understand what it meant :-) i crossed my fingers and executed "make all" and the compilation stopped with the following error messages: net/ipv6/addrconf.c:291: error: redefinition of `ipv6_addr_diff' include/net/ipv6.h:407: error: `ipv6_addr_diff' previously defined here make[2]: *** [net/ipv6/addrconf.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [net/ipv6] Error 2 make: *** [net] Error 2 so that is my story and hope to get some solution. I have the knoppix CD but i want to have a stable MIPL test bed so that i dont have to recreate my configurations everytime i switch off my systems and boot from knoppix. I hope the situation is clear and some solution in sight :-) thanks in advance Zarrar ---------------------------------------- > Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 18:16:27 +0200 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [mipl] Error in applying patch > > zarrar yousaf wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have a configured and running MIPL2.0 test bed over Debian kernel > > 2.6.14, and when i applied the patch patch-2.6.15 and did a make > > all, i got the following errors: > > > > net/ipv6/addrconf.c:291: error: redefinition of `ipv6_addr_diff' > > include/net/ipv6.h:407: error: `ipv6_addr_diff' previously defined > > here make[2]: *** [net/ipv6/addrconf.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** > > [net/ipv6] Error 2 make: *** [net] Error 2 > > > > I don't know whether this is the right forum to ask but any > > help/suggestion/workaround in this direction would be appreciated > > as i need to use the MIPL2.0.1 which i believe is for kernel > > 2.6.15. > > Yes, MIPL 2.0.1 is indeed for kernel 2.6.15. > > Here are some questions that may help us: > > Did you get any error when you patched the kernel 2.6.15? > Any "Hunk failed" or similar error messages? > > Do you use 2.6.15 or a later revision: 2.6.15.x (x between 1 and 7)? > Do you use the kernel.org sources or Debian kernel sources? > > Benjamin > > > > > looking forward > > > > Zarrar > > _________________________________________________________________ > > Join the next generation of Hotmail and you could win the adventure > > of a lifetime > > http://www.imagine-msn.com/minisites/sweepstakes/mail/register.aspx > > _______________________________________________ mipl mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://www.mobile-ipv6.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mipl > > > > > -- > B e n j a m i n T h e r y - BULL/DT/Open Software R&D > > http://www.bull.com > _________________________________________________________________ Enter the Windows Live Mail beta sweepstakes http://www.imagine-msn.com/minisites/sweepstakes/mail/register.aspx _______________________________________________ mipl mailing list [email protected] http://www.mobile-ipv6.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mipl
