What are kernel patches for?
Hi, what are kernel patches for when they cannot be applied? I'm getting: l...@cat:~/inst/KERNEL/linux-2.6.29.4$ patch -p1 patch-2.6.29.5 patching file Documentation/filesystems/Locking Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] I haven't applied a patch previously, and I guess that the creator of the patch didn't confuse the directories. I used to just download a new kernel when I wanted to update, since there were usually a number of versions in between, but in this case, there's only 2.6.29.5 and then 2.6.30, so I wanted to apply the patches. So how do I apply these patches? 2.6.29.4 sometimes seems to lock up, i. e. it seems that as soon as disk access is involved, whatever tries to access the disk just freezes. When that happens, I can only press the reset button. Maybe that's fixed now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The easiest solution is to get the full 2.6.29.5 tree, or get the 2.6.29 tarball and then apply this patch. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

So am I to assume that the creator of the patch reversed the directories and that the patch is useless to me?

Generating a patch representing the differences between two patches is not at all what I'm trying to do. I'm not sure if I should try one of the other alternatives. That the default way of applying the patch yields unexpected results may indicate that there is something wrong with either the patch or the source tree to be patched. In that case, it is not possible to achieve the desired results simply by using a different program to operate on the very same files unless the desired results would be generated by chance. That the desired results would be generated by chance seems even more unlikely than the creator of the patch having confused the directories. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

With your proposal, you would need 2.6.29, _every_ patch-2.6.29.y and apply them consecutively -- this becomes rather tedious if y is large. With the way I was thinking it works, you would already have a 2.6.29 or a 2.6.29.x kernel and then apply one patch after another to get to the .x you want. Like in my case, I would start with the 2.6.29.4 I already have and apply 2.6.29.5 and 2.6.30: only two patches. How many patches you would have to apply would only depend on how large the gap is --- and if it was a large gap like from 2.6.24 to 2.6.30, I'd download the full 2.6.30 anyway and it won't matter. If I need to download the full source again, I'd download 2.6.30 and won't need to patch anything. I always download linux-2.6.x.tar.bz2 and patch-2.6.x.y.bz2. That seems to be the better way since I could keep applying the patches from there ... Actually, make oldconfig is the best you can do to check every new kernel option. It takes a bit of time if going from 2.6.x to 2.6.x+1, but for most questions asked you can just press Enter.

Bonjour la liste voulant faire d'une pierre moultes coups (ocuper mon samedi soir (il y a vraiment des gens bizarres ici!), passer a un noyau qui compile avec gcc-4, etc.), je me suis mis en tete de passer au kernel 2.6.12. Je precise que, adepte du travail artisanal, je compile moi-meme mes noyaux. Donc, je telecharge le linux-tree-2.6.12. Et la, c'est le drame. Si j'ai bien compris, les sources du noyau n'arrivent plus patchees a la sauce Debian, mais en kit (le noyau (presque) original + un gros paquet de patch). Les patches sont appliques avant compilation par make-kpkg et retires lors d'un make-kpkg clean. Je suis perplexe. Possedant un portable, j'ai pris l'habitude d'appliquer quelques tonnes de patches a mon noyau avant compilation. Je procedais ainsi: telechargement des sources Debian, applicage de patches supplementaires, compilation, installation, joie. Comment je fais pour appliquer (et ne serait-ce que verifier si je peux appliquer) mes millions de patches supplementaires? Des fois, ces patches me donnent quelques options supplementaires dans la configuration du noyau: comment je fais pour selectionner ces options? Pour les gens qui (comme moi) affinent leur configuration de noyau (ou corrigent les erreurs), n'est-ce point un peu du gachis que d'appliquer/retirer n fois les patches aux sources? En bref parce que je m'apercois que je commence a etre trop long: - comment je fais pour generer rapidement les sources patchees a la sauce debian?

Debian Kernel-Patches auf vanilla kernel anweden
Hallo. Ich bin in der wenig beneidenswerten Situation, einen aktuellen 2.6.10 für ein System bauen zu müssen, das den acenic-Treiber für Tigon-2-basierte Netzkarten enthalten muss. Dieser ist im kernel-source-2.6.10 wg. des Firmware-BLOBs leider nicht enthalten. Allerdings würde ich gerne die von den Debianern geleistete Vorarbeit in Form ihrer Kernel-Patches für 2.6.10 benutzen, so daß ich mir den Siff nicht einzeln aus LKML und Co. zusammen suchen muss.

This may sound like a dumb question but should one apply debian kernel patches to a Debian source kernel before compiling one? e.g. I am right now working on kernel source of 2.6.9.

make-kpkg and kernel patches

I thought this might have been from a subsequent make-kpkg clean, but even without that, they're not there. Are these automatically cleaned out? If so, how can I diagnose problems applying patches?

Re: make-kpkg and kernel patches
After reading the fine source I can now answer some, but not all, of my questions. I understand more about why it's failing, but don't know how to make it work right or diagnose the failures (well, I probably could diagnose them by untarring the patch file and comparing it to the target, though that seems awkward). make-kpkg provides some pre-processing around the standard invocation of debian/rules. That file does the patching during its macro scan. It looks in several places, with a representative one like this: if [ -n $(ALL_PATCH_DIR) -a \ -d $(ALL_PATCH_APPLY) ]; then \ run-parts --exit-on-error $(ALL_PATCH_APPLY); \ (cd $(ALL_PATCH_APPLY); ls -1) applied_patches;\ echo done stamp-patch;\ On Fri, 2003-12-12 at 12:45, Ross Boylan wrote: I am trying to apply kernel patches with make-kpkg, but am running into difficulties, particularly on repeated runs.

Applying kernel patches in make-kpkg
I've been using kernel-package to make kernel debs for a while and I'm delighted with it. Now I'd like to build a 2.4.19 kernel with the XFS (journalling file system) patches installed. I have a 2.4.19 source tree with a symlink to /usr/src/linux. I have installed the kernel-patch-xfs deb, and it created the directory /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/xfs with three kernel-patchgz files. I have edited /etc/kernel-pkg.conf and added the lines patch_the_kernel=yes and config_target=menuconfig. I did make-kpkg --added-patches xfs kernel_image modules_image. menuconfig started but I couldn't see any XFS options in the file systems section; when I installed the kernel image and tried to boot with the new kernel it panicked on the root file system. It appears to me the patches aren't being applied. I've looked in the kernel-package and kernel-patch-xfs docs for clues, but I haven't found any. Any ideas where I'm going astray?

kernel patches kill usb?
hi everyone, I'm trying to install demudi on my woody amd k7 box, but in order to do so I have to re-roll my kernel, and it's giving my trouble. here's the situation: the demudi kernel is patched with: Posix capability; low-latency; and acpi. I need: full support for nvidia graphics; and usb input support (no serial or ps/2 ports on my box) so, I reinstalled the 21.4.18 source, the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages (I had to install nvidia once before). Then I installed kernel-patch-demudi, which in effect installs low-latency, capability, and acpi patches. then I copied my old config file to /usr/src/linux/.config (after linking linux to kernel-source-2.4.18, of ocurse), and ran make menuconfig. The only settings I changed had to do with acpi power management (I turned it on) and latency control (turned it on too). then I followed the instructions for nvidia support (involves building and installing two packages) then I made a new grub entry in menu.lst and rebootead. After a couple of screwups, I got the system to boot and start X (Yay!). But for some reason USB is broken. So, question: does anyone know if any of these patches has knwon incompatibilities with usb support, or if they introduce new mouse/keyboard/usb options within config? If so, does anyone know what I shou ld do? I've looked through the options, and it seems to me that everything is checked about right... but I can't be 100l% sure. Another question: can modconf or modprobe change the de1fault status of a module for a kernel that _isn't currently running_? I was wondering whether the problem might be that the necessary modules aren't loading for some reason, but I 3don't know how I would fix that. thanks as usual!!! matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I only noticed that boot message today; it may therefore be the case that earlier kernels had a workaround too; but maybe 2.4.20's has been updated. My previous MB had a VIA VT82C596B. Using the same HD, I had ONE instance of disk corruption - something scribbled all over the boot sector of the DOS partition while Linux was running. That was either with kernel 2.2.12 or 2.4.8. It only happened the once, so I never found out what actually caused it. I think there are a lot of VIA chipsets out there but most people don't have problems; presumably some other factor is needed to make the bug show up. Wonder what?

Pigeon said: I think there are a lot of VIA chipsets out there but most people don't have problems; presumably some other factor is needed to make the bug show up. Wonder what? not entirely related but thought to mention .. about a year and a half ago I was looking for a MB to get an Athlon 1300 to run with. I wanted a MB that supported SDRAM, and at least at the time there were very few. I settled originally on the Asus A7A266. I transplanted everything from my P3-800 except the MB/CPU/RAM to the new A7A266 including the PCI Promise ATA/100 controller card. I purchased 3x256MB Kingston PC133 memory sticks for the board. But the system suffered from massive disk curroption. I traced it down to the point where I could reproduce it with a few commands: mke2fs /dev/hde5 mount /dev/hde5 /mnt umount /mnt e2fsck /dev/hde5 (where /dev/hde5 was whatever partition I was testing and /mnt was the mountpoint, I don't remember exactly what directory I was using but it doesn't matter). running the e2fsck after the umount showed MASSIVE filesystem curroption, and I hadn't even written any files to the disk! just mounted it and immediately unmounted it. eventually I gave up and replaced the board with a Tyan board(which maxxed out at 1300, so I can't upgrade the CPU). That was about a year and a half ago, not a glitch since. Well excluding having my IBM IDE drives fail, which I later replaced with a 9GB SCSI disk. So sick of having IDE drives fail! one of my former co workers later told me(~6 months ago) that the particular board I have(A7A266) apparently had some problems, I'm not sure what rev was affected and if I had the affected rev or not. I never did try the onboard IDE controller. crazy shit. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: IDE disk corruption - A7M266-D; which kernel patches? or other solution
A bit off topic here.. sorry Others ahve expressed problems with Asus based on memory issues. Anyone have any thoughts? The recent comment was on the A7V8X being very picky with RAM. My friend picked up a different KT400 based system and popped in the same PC2700 (not PC3200) that didnt work in Ausus and it ran like a champ.

The linux-kernel mailing list archives seem to indicate that there
is a patch for a kernel bug that can cause disk corruption.
Does anybody know which 2.4.x kernel patches are supposed to fix that?
Or is the problem something else?
If you have a VIA chipset try making sure that VIA chipset support is
included in the kernel.

Bonjour à tous, je voudrais savoir la méthode à suivre pour voir si un patch a été correctement appliqué ou non lors de la création d'un package kernel-image. J'ai crée un package kernel-image sous ma woody en appliquant le patche debianlogo. J'ai suivi la procédure de Xavier Poinsard que je remercie une fois de plus. J'ai ajouté ma nouvelle version de noyau (2.4.19) dans la liste KVERSION du script debianlogo dans le répertoire apply. Néanmoins, au redémarrage, j'ai toujours l'image de tux et non le logo de debian.

kernel patches
I am reading up about Debian prior to installing 3.0 when it comes out. (I'm moving over from Mandrake). I'd be grateful if someone could point me to a document that explains the nature of the kernel that is installed in the first instance and which patches have been applied. I'd like to work out in advance what the kernel differences with Mandrake are likely to be, and find out whether I shall have to recompile immediately, and which patches I'll need to apply (e.g. will it already have supermount?).

Kernel-Package, Kernel-Patches, lots of questions
Hi, kernel-package supports kernel patches, as I learned short time ago. But IMO, it lacks the documentation for this. If i understand correctly: - patches go into /usr/src/kernel-patches/$arch/$version/apply. - If PATCH_THE_KERNEL is set, patches are automatically applied on make-kpkg. But here are some questions: (1) How are patches handled that create new config options in the kernel config? When make-kpkg runs, kernel config usually is already finished - how am I supposed to activate the new options? (2) How can I choose which patches are to be applied? Are all patches applied without me having a chance to choose? (3) Can I see in the created .deb which patches have been applied? (4) Can patches be put elsewhere than in /usr/src/kernel-patches? (5) Where is the documentation about module-hooks mentioned in kernel-package(5)? Greetings Marc -- -- !!

Ultimately, I'm hoping to solve the problem of not being able to use console while X is running. With the stock MGA driver, my console fonts are terribly corrupt -- very blocky and huge. With Matrox's MGA driver (or is it the kernel's SVGA driver ??), the fonts are very square and blue in color. At this point, I've removed framebuffer support for the 2.4.2-ac24 kernel (but haven't rebooted yet to see what happens). And yes, I know that framebuffer support is *experimental*.

Kernel patches (Was: make-kpkg question)
you definitely do not want use the patches for 2.2.18 with any other kernel, unless you really know what you are doing (you would have to make sure that the files that the patch changes are unchanged between 2.2.18 and whatever you will use). This brings up another question: According to what I understand from the docs, if I already have the original 2.2.17 source (apt-get kernel-source-2.2.17), then I can download the newest patch-2.2.18-pre* from kernel.org and use it to get the latest 2.2.18 kernel source tree. Is this correct, and if so, would I then be able to add patches that are intended for 2.2.18 kernels on top of the resulting source tree, and so on, and so on? It's just that a complete kernel source tree is ip to 15 Megs nowadays, whereas the patches are only 2.5 Megs. If the results are the same, then its obviously preferable to save bandwidth (not to mention download time), and use the patches instead. -- Cheers .~. /V\ // \\ /( )\ ^`~´^ hugge

How to auto-apply kernel patches
I would have thought this were explained better.. I have kernel-package installed and have kernel source for 2.2.13 and the kerneli package installed.
