Can a patch fix an ailing kernel or is only to make an older one up-to-date?
Normally it is for updating an older kernel source tree to the current one. You probably don't have to mess with that though. If you have merged any 2.6.16 sources, gentoo, suspend2, anything...you should have linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2 in your distfiles directory. That is the plain vanilla sources from kernel.org. The suspend2 and gentoo sources simply extract the vanilla sources and apply patches. If you are in doubt, download the .sign file for 2.6.16, and verify it with the instructions here: http://www.kernel.org/signature.html -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
