mm patching the kernel.

[Chris Wakefield <c_wakefield@shaw.ca>]

Hi Gang.

Could someone tell me the patches to apply against kernel sources to patch up 
to 2.6.4.4 with mm version kernels ??

I've tried many different patches against several different kernels and am 
having varying results, as I don't quite understand the patching sequences.  
Yes, I read the stuff on it, but it's just not clear enough for me.

I don't seem to have a problem patching the kernel source with kernel source 
patches, but where I run into trouble is the exact mm patch to use against 
the "vanilla" kernel.

My target is to build a recent kernel that will work 
with:  "linux-kbuild-2.6.24"  This is so I can build an nvidia kernel module 
with module-assistant plus use reiser4 as well.

I am currently running a 2.6.25-rc8-mm1 kernel, this is because kernel.org 
shows the base line to guide me.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Chris W.
