No guarantees, but:
Please:
Get 2.6.11. Nothing else. Not 2.6.11.7. Unpack
2.6.11. And apply
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2>
to 2.6.11. Not to 2.6.11.7 ... :)
This should work. At least it did here a few minutes ago ...
Something like:
tar -xzvf linux-2.6.11.tar.gz
cd linux-2.6.11/
bzip2 -cd ../../patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run | less
If you see everything went well give him the whole package:
bzip2 -cd ../../patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2 | patch -p1
Perhaps a bit dated but one might still get the most important ideas
behind patching kernels:
