Hmmm... "-p" what? there is supposed to follow a number (at least patch on
DEC OSF4.0 want's one).
patch [-bflsvNRS] [-c | -e | -n] [-B prefix] [-d directory] [-D define]
[-F][number] [-i patchfile] [-o outfile] [-p number] [-r rejectfile]
[original_file] [patchfile] [+] [flags] [original_file]
-p 1 will cause patch to strip one leading directory name at the front.
So if the patchfile was done from /usr/src all path will start with
linux/....
if you cd in /usr/src/linux you would use:
patch -p 1 < patchfile
so it can find all the files.
If the patch is not clean (i.e. rejects) you probably had a kernel patched
with the old style md-raid. The patch is probably against a clean kernel
source.
Either get a clean kernel or a patch against your kernel version (could be
difficult).
BTW: option --dry-run will cause patch to test every patch but not actually
doing them.This way you won't end up with a messed up kernel source.
