Error when applying the patch
I am running the kernel-default package and the version is 2.6.5-7.111.19. When I try and run patch -Np1 -i packet-2.6.5.patch.bz2 I receive the error: "patch: **** Only garbage was found in the package input" Any ideas? -- Joe Harmon Linux Desktop Community NTS Information Technology Novell Inc 801-861-9163 jharmon@novell.com Novell Linux Desktop Support Community http://support.novell.com/products/desktop SuSE Linux Professional Support Community http://support.novell.com/products/suseprofessional All Support Communities http://support.novell.com/products/index.html

bzcat packet-2.6.5.patch.bz2|patch -Np1 -i should work. Bye...

Try: Where packet-2.6.5.patch.bz2 is in the kernel source root directory /usr/src/linux/ bzcat packet-2.6.5.patch.bz2 | patch -p1 zcat /proc/config.gz > .config make oldconfig Answer M for packet CD writing. make all make modules_install make install Then reboot- If you have a default SuSE install running Grub as a bootloader that should be all you need to do.
