I highly suggest using ketchup for your kernel patching needs: http://www.selenic.com/ketchup/ Here, I have a plain 2.6.11 kernel that I upgrade to 2.6.11.4. I then want it to go right to 2.6.11.6. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp/linux-2.6.11$ ketchup 2.6.11.4 2.6.11 -> 2.6.11.4 Applying patch-2.6.11.4.bz2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp/linux-2.6.11$ ketchup 2.6.11.6 2.6.11.4 -> 2.6.11.6 Applying patch-2.6.11.4.bz2 -R Applying patch-2.6.11.6.bz2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp/linux-2.6.11$ BTW, it also keeps a cache of local patches, and downloads if needed. So, you'll see the downloads the first time that you use it for any given patch.
