Hello again Mark, I think you may find that the patches you are using are ment to take a vanilla 2.3.13 kernel to a susefied 2.3.13. If you try to apply these to a SuSE 2.3.12 kernel you are bound to get errors. Check out the SuSE site, I seem to recall that in the directory which contains these various patch files there is a readme. Kind regards, Simon -----Original Message----- From: kranked@canada.com [mailto:kranked@canada.com] Sent: 31 October 2001 22:31 To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] Suse Kernel Patching Hi all, I'm trying to update to the newest mantel kernel from my 2.4.12 kernel via the patches-2.4.13-5.tar.bz2 file. I read the kernel how-to on pathing but I didn't get very far with it. I tried issuing the command 'bzcat patches-2.4.13-5.tar.bz2 | patch -p1' from within the /usr/src/linux-2.4.12-SuSE directory, but up came a bunch of stuff about already exsisting files etc etc...and Reapplied etc. I wasn't sure at this point what to do so I thought I'd ask b4 I really fux0red something up. Any help on patching would be appreciated.
