Ok, I patched the kernel with the patch-2.6.0-bk3 patch. Now the first four lines of Makefie read: VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 0 EXTRAVERSION = -bk3 (There is a space between = and -bk3, does this matter? Is this why I do not have /lib/module/2.6.0-bk3?)
Then I run: patch --dry-run -p1 -i alsa-bk-2003-12-30.patch and I got what I expected: patching file Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt Hunk #1 FAILED at 173. Hunk #2 FAILED at 390. Hunk #3 FAILED at 1124. 3 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt.rej can't find file to patch at input line 4935 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -Nru a/Documentation/sound/alsa/Joystick.txt b/Documentation/sound/alsa/Joystick.txt |--- a/Documentation/sound/alsa/Joystick.txt Tue Dec 30 11:45:47 2003 |+++ b/Documentation/sound/alsa/Joystick.txt Tue Dec 30 11:45:47 2003 -------------------------- File to patch: i also tried patch --dry-run -Np1 -i alsa-bk-2003-12-30.patch What I am suppose to do now?
