Hi, I'm interested in using Ingo Molnar's realtime-preempt kernel patches with a Gentoo kernel. I already use them with a Kernel.org kernel but would prefer to one day see these be part of what Gentoo supplies. This morning I did a --dry-run and see some messages like this:
patching file Makefile Hunk #1 FAILED at 1. 1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej patching file arch/arm/mach-pxa/corgi_ssp.c patching file arch/i386/Kconfig <SNIP> patching file arch/mips/Kconfig Hunk #3 succeeded at 907 (offset 2 lines). Hunk #4 succeeded at 942 (offset 2 lines). Hunk #5 succeeded at 1469 (offset 2 lines). Hunk #6 succeeded at 1483 (offset 2 lines). patching file arch/mips/kernel/Makefile <SNIP> patching file drivers/video/console/fbcon.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 1063 (offset 11 lines). Hunk #2 FAILED at 1091. Hunk #3 succeeded at 2874 (offset 106 lines). 1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/video/console/fbcon.c.rej patching file drivers/video/console/vgacon.c QUESTIONS: 1) Can I assume that whatever happened with the "Hunk #x succeeded" that everything is OK? Maybe this was just a line number issue? 2) What can I do about the "Hunk #x FAILED" messages? No output files were created since it was only a dry run. I can run again, get output files, and then look into it but I thought I'd ask how folks go about this sort of thing before I pulled the trigger. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
