Instead of trying to patch the kernel, it would be easier (although a bigger download) to get the version you want and update the config. The easiest way to do this is to use make oldconfig. First untar the new kernel. Then, copy .config from the old directory to the new one. This will keep all your old settings. Finally, run make oldconfig. It works like make config, but only asks the new questions. It worked for me going from 2.4.31 to 2.6.11.12 (although it took a while), so 11.12 to .12 should be nothing. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
