No guarantees, but: Please: Get 2.6.11. Nothing else. Not 2.6.11.7. Unpack 2.6.11. And apply <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2> to 2.6.11. Not to 2.6.11.7 ... :) This should work. At least it did here a few minutes ago ... Something like: tar -xzvf linux-2.6.11.tar.gz cd linux-2.6.11/ bzip2 -cd ../../patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run | less If you see everything went well give him the whole package: bzip2 -cd ../../patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2 | patch -p1 Perhaps a bit dated but one might still get the most important ideas behind patching kernels: <http://www.kernelnewbies.org/faq/> Regards :) Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
