For example, if your base kernel is 2.6.12 and you want to apply the 2.6.12.3 patch, you do not and indeed must not first apply the 2.6.12.1 and 2.6.12.2 patches. Similarly, if you are running kernel version 2.6.12.2 and want to jump to 2.6.12.3, you must first reverse the 2.6.12.2 patch (that is, patch -R) _before_ applying the 2.6.12.3 patch." So I would think, that you need to reverse back to 2.6.13 and then apply patch-2.6.14. I.e. there is no patch from 2.6.13.4 to 2.6.14. Simo -- :r ~/.signature
