Nope, your patch still doesn't apply, are you sure you sent me the updated one? It fails with: patching file arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile Hunk #1 succeeded at 40 (offset 1 line). patching file arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 1. File arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c is not empty after patch, as expected 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- rejects in file arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c when applying it to the 3.3-stable queue. What did you generate it against? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
