If you put the patch file in the /usr/src directory you probably need to run the -p1 switch. patch -p1 <patchfile Depending on how the patch is written, you may need to try -p0 or -p2 Also, make sure you have the symbolic link @linux pointing to your 2.2.0 source files. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I tried to decompress the file first but I got a message that kind of goes like this: Hmmm... this doesn't seem like a zipped file I should have written it down, I know but anyway. So I went ahead and just tried to run the patch. Since I'm in /usr/src and the patch itself is in the same directory, I figured needed to add -p0. I thought -p1 is when you're in a different directory. patch S.Toms wrote:
