It has been many years since I had to patch a kernel and need to have a location for the requisite documentation.

I have obtained "kernel_v3.11.patch" but in searching the SUSE documentation have not found the official procedure to apply this patch. Would someone please supply an URL or location where that patch application is provided?

Thanks, Tom

Are you sure that patch is a kernel patch? The title seems to suggest it's a patch for the NVidia proprietary drivers and it would depend on which driver you need to patch.

For the 325.15 driver package. "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15.run --apply-patch kernel_3.11.patch"

There are a couple of patches with that name, this is the shortest of them. # less kernel_v3.11.patch --- a/kernel/nv-linux.h +++ b/kernel/nv-linux.h @@ -957,7 +957,11 @@ static inline int nv_execute_on_all_cpus

Not sure if you can answer this. The patch I got for 325.15 has the following: CODE: ------------ nvidia-3.11.patch Index: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15/kernel/nv-linux.h

Thanks Russ Sorry first time I hit wrong button and sent this direct to Sid.

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, it is a patch for the Nvidia run file and not the kernel. My mistake.

The version of the patch file is different from both of yours:

Not sure if you trimmed your listings or are there really different versions floating around with the same title?

Anyway, when II attempted to use either method suggested they both failed with mainly "file not found" errors.

Thanks, Tom

Tom: I will try your much larger patch. The patch I used patch: CODE: --------- NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15/kernel/nv-linux.h _______ which is extracted from the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-325.15.run file. it works fine on 3.11.0. I will try your more complete patch on 3.11. latest update of the 12.3 kernel. If that works and I get my 13.1 Beta 1 to work I'll try it there. its on a seperate disk..

Will post result.

Thanks for the quick response. Russ

Are you using Tumbleweed kernels. What's the exact kernel?

-- Cheers!
