I want/need to compile one of the Alan Cox variants of the 2.4.20 kernel (it apparently has better support for the particular Asus motherboard that I have). I've routinely hand-compiled kernels for some years, but I've never tried any of the non-standard kernel branches before.
I downloaded the 2.4.20 source from ftp.debian.org, uncompressed it, un-tarred it. Then I downloaded patch-2.4.20-pre10-ac2 from the same site, and tried: patch -p1 < patch-2.4.20-pre10-ac2 at the top of the /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/ tree. It gets a certain distance and then: patching file arch/alpha/kernel/process.c patching file arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c patching file arch/alpha/mm/fault.c patching file arch/arm/config.in patching file arch/arm/mm/fault-common.c patching file arch/cris/drivers/ide.c patching file arch/i386/config.in patching file arch/i386/defconfig patching file arch/i386/kernel/apic.c Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] n Apply anyway? [n] y Hunk #1 FAILED at 29. Hunk #2 succeeded at 262 (offset 1 line). Hunk #3 FAILED at 304. 2 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file arch/i386/kernel/apic.c.rej patching file arch/i386/kernel/apm.c patching file arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] At that point, no matter what options I select, I end up with `Hunk FAILED' messages. The process repeats. I'm sure I'm making some really basic mistake here. Could someone kindly point me in a useful direction? Thanks, Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
