-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Andrew: I think I found myself in a similar situation once. On that occasion I had downloaded and installed the {mumble-kernel}.src.rpm instead of the kernel-source-{mumble}.{arch}.rpm files. You don't want the first one. Confused the biscuits outta me at the time. "Whaddaya mean that's not the source? It says .src right there!" :-D Well, it's kind of the source but not the one you want to build your own kernel from. It's an RPM thing. If you didn't yet, try the kernel-source-*.rpm file. Cheers, - dash On Tuesday 27 January 2004 07:41, Andrew Halliwell wrote:

I've just finished downloading the kernelsources for 193 to find them to be a package of 2.4.21 and lots of patches, rather than the usual kernel with patches applied.

Now, I tried using the script suggested by the README.SuSE file...

for p in $(./guards $(./arch-symbols)

to apply the patches, but I did notice quite a lot of chunks flying past that weren't patching properly (by the looks of it).

And on compile, when it gets to the mm section... lots of...

Is it me doing something wrong, or is there a problem with the patches in that rpmball?
