Easiest way is probably to set up a 32-bit chroot.
Here are some alternative instructions. :)
0. prerequisites:
apt-get install git build-essential gcc-multilib
1. get a copy of the kernel history, if you don't already have it:
git clone \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
2. fetch point releases:
cd linux
git remote add stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
git fetch stable
3. configure, build, test:
git checkout stable/linux-3.2.y
ssh target-system 'cat /boot/config-$(uname -r)' >.config
scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
make ARCH=i386; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
make ARCH=i386 deb-pkg
scp ../<name of package> target-system:
ssh root@target-system dpkg -i <package>
ssh root@target-system reboot
Hopefully it reproduces the bug. So:
4. try the patch:
git am -3sc /path/to/patch
make ARCH=i386; # maybe with -j4
scp ../<name of package> target-system:
ssh root@target-system dpkg -i <package>
ssh root@target-system reboot
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
