Can you say more about this? Maybe we can help.
As an alternative to the instructions at [1], I can also suggest
0. Prerequisites:
apt-get install git build-essential
1. Get the source:
git clone -o stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git \
linux
cd linux
Or, if you already have a git clone of the linux source, just get
the point releases:
cd linux
git remote add -f stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
2. Configure and build:
git checkout stable/linux-3.2.y
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
Hopefully it reproduces the bug.
3. Try the patch:
cd linux
git apply --index thepatch
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
