Things still don't work out. It looks like the patching did crash the
kernel source code.
The compilation stopped with heaps of messages like that:
dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
These messages showed up in fs.h, pagemap.h, ataflop.c.
In fs.h line 377 it complains about a parse error before `unsagned´
(Is this supposed to mean "unsigned"?)
Then a warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
It looks like the source code was crashed by patching it.
For ataflop.c make spits an Error 1 out, for first_rule, _subdir_block
and _dir_drivers an Error 2.
Because I had to fiddle around a little bit to find out, how patching
works, I deleted the kernel-source-directory, untarred the archive again
and did a deinstall and reinstall of the patch-package to make sure to
use untouched files prior to start of the "apply"-script.
What happened here?
Best wishes,
Kerstin
