Hi, what are kernel patches for when they cannot be applied? I'm getting:
l...@cat:~/inst/KERNEL/linux-2.6.29.4$ patch -p1 < patch-2.6.29.5 patching file Documentation/filesystems/Locking Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] I haven't applied a patch previously, and I guess that the creator of the patch didn't confuse the directories. I used to just download a new kernel when I wanted to update, since there were usually a number of versions in between, but in this case, there's only 2.6.29.5 and then 2.6.30, so I wanted to apply the patches. So how do I apply these patches? 2.6.29.4 sometimes seems to lock up, i. e. it seems that as soon as disk access is involved, whatever tries to access the disk just freezes. When that happens, I can only press the reset button. Maybe that's fixed now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
