Yeah, altough the 2.4.25-2 reached the archive now. > What is this? > > And how do I apply these patches (?) to a kernel source tree? apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.25 kernel-patch-2.4.25-powerpc tar xjf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25.tar.bz2 cd kernel-source-2.4.25 zcat /usr/src/patches/powerpc/debian-powerpc.diff.gz | patch -p1 --dry-run Should do just fine. Well, the path are from memory, please check them. There is also a way to automatically patch the kernel tree with make-kpkg, and also a way to use kernel-tree instead of kernel-source. Read the documentation of kernel-package for more details. > I know what a patch file is, and how to use it.
