 Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2005 11:39 am Post subject: HOW TO: Patching a Kernel |
 |
|
I always have this problem when rolling a new kernel and never can find a good source to refer to when I google it, so I'm puting what I know here for me and others like me to reference later.
Patching the kernel with the following:
For Starters enter your Kernel Source directory
Then apply the patch, here's the command for the following types/compressions
.diff & .patch: | Code: | | patch -p1 < patch-file.diff |
or | Code: | | cat patch-file.patch | patch -p1 |
.gz: | Code: | | zcat patch-file.gz | patch -p1 |
.bz2: | Code: | | bzcat patch-file.gz | patch -p1 |
Please correct any mistakes, and add any missing info in replies if you would 
EDIT: yeah.. I'm hearing they are the same... post edited =D

Hi!

.patch: | Code: | | cat patch-file.patch | patch -p1 |

Aren't these two the same? I mean, also for the first you can write:
.diff: | Code: | | cat patch-file.diff | patch -p1 |
