smth wrong here

Code: Select all

localhost /usr/src/linux # patch -p1 < kernel_4.12.0_1.patch 
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

yagaev,

You are patching the wrong thing.

Code: Select all

vbox-kernel-module-src-5.1.22.old/vboxdrv/include/iprt/string.h

is the file being patched. Its not a part of the kernel.
You need to patch the files provided by app-emulation/virtualbox-modules.

Reading the ebuild for virtualbox-modules-5.1.2 shovs that it uses EAPI=6
That means it will pick up and apply user provided patches in the course of the emerge. The patches just need to be in the right place.

Make a directory called

Code: Select all

/etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules/

Put the patch here with a filename ending in .patch

emerge will apply the patch when you

Code: Select all

emerge -1 virtualbox-modules

I can't find the man page that covers this but its there somewhere.

See /etc/portage/patches
