This isn't anything to worry about, it pretty much just means someone added
or deleted a line from the file.  For instance, adding:

/* Charles Steinkuehler just looked at this C file */

would cause every applied patch to be offset by one line...

The only time I've had problems with offsets, is when there are HUGE changes
to the file, and some parts of the patch apply while others don't.
Typically, this can be caused by someone seriously editing the file, moving
chunks of it around, and deleting or re-writing big pieces of it.  You just
have to look at the patch output and make an intelligent decision, but
generally, if everything's off by a few lines, it just means someone played
with the file, probably tweaking a line of code here or there, and adding
some comments.

Just ugly.

Also, there's an OpenWall patch available for 2.2.19.

Really? I thought that there was an issue with it in 2.4.2 only...

I should really get around to fixing that image. The kernels that I have
up on my site work just fine; it's the IMAGES that actually need to be
tweaked so that the iptables modules load in the correct order. I also
wanted to take a swing at cutting down the size of the thing... it's still
hovering at around 490K.

Anyone know what happens when you use strip on a kernel? =)

Hey, everybody's been spoiling my own work, include YOU, with

Is that a warning to be concerned about, or just ugly?

Building 2.4.2 now. Don't know about a 2.4.2-ac26.

Gack! Wouldn't matter to me on a LRP, but on my workstation, I
use loop mounts constantly...glad I skipped 2.4.1. ;)

Anyone going to compile 2.4.2-ac26 or whatever other is out there now?

Existing 2.4.1 has problems with loop mounts, so you might want to
avoid it. ?

Spoil everything now

They work but have that nasty "offset by X" so I fixed it.

I've got the initrd & linuxrc-always patches for the 2.4 kernel:

The patches are different for 2.2.19? I successfully used the
2.2.16 patches on 2.2.19, no problems at all.

> I thought someone else had patched them against 2.4.1 ...?

Charles?

I'd like to build some LRP Linux 2.4 kernels.

[Leaf-devel] initrd and linuxrc-always patches updated to Linux 2.2.19

2001-03-27 Thread David Douthitt

What's the best way to release these?

I talked once of getting the patches together; perhaps we should
start?  I compiled these patches for 2.2.17, 2.2.18, and 2.2.19.

I thought someone else had patched them against 2.4.1 ...?
