I want to try 2.6.12-rc2. I downloaded and extracted the latest
2.6.11 from kernel.org, and tried to apply the 2.6.12-rc2 patch. I
get messages like this:
patching file drivers/media/video/adv7170.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]
What should I answer here? Or should I just wait for 2.6.12 final? I
am trying to get sleep support for my powerbook.
When I applied the .12-rc2 patch last night, I did not have to answer
any questions. I did when I was trying to patch the 2.6.11.6 sources,
but the .12-rc2 patch applied cleanly to 2.6.11.
This is what I did:
- unpacked linux-2.6.11.tar.gz -> linux-2.6.11 directory
- unzipped 2.6.12-rc2-mm2.bz2 in the same directory when the 2.6.11
source directory was.
- entered the linux-2.6.11 directory and ran the command:
$ patch -p1 < ../[name of patch file]
and it applied cleanly, without any error.
