http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html says that after the kernel is built, make-kpkg reverses the patches you applied, so that each new build starts with an unpatched source tree.
However, whenever I try to re-build a kernel, the patch application always fails the second time round (i.e. it works from a newly installed tree but not if make-kpkg has been run already) with the message " ... patch for 2.4.22 does not apply cleanly"
Is the above document correct? How can I tell whether the patches have in fact been removed properly? And how should I proceed? Do I really have to delete the tree and start over again?
Patches won't be automatically uninstalled, quoting 'man make-kpkg': |Please note that the patches are UN-installed from the source when you |run the clean target. This cleanup can be prevented by setting the |environment variable NO_UNPATCH_BY_DEFAULT
So don't forget to run 'make-kpkg clean' before attempting a recompile, which incidentally is just what '5.6. Making the kernel image' from above doc recommends.
