Hi, I need to patch a 2.4.9 kernel source tree installed as an rpm with a patch from Alan Cox to fix a bug with i810 chipsets and X. I have not been having much success in applying the patch. I have put the patch file in /usr/src and run 'patch -p0 < patch-2.4.9-ac18'. It reports:
"can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -u --new-file --recursive --exclude-from /usr/src/exclude linux.vanilla/CREDITS |linux.ac/CREDITS |--- linux.vanilla/CREDITS Sun Aug 26 20:45:47 2001 |+++ linux.ac/CREDITS Tue Sep 18 14:28:38 2001 -------------------------- File to patch: On one mailing list someone said that you can't apply patches to redhat kernel source trees because redhat make mods to them... Does anyone know what the correct way to apply an 'Alan Cox' patch is? Cheers, Campbell -- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
