The patch is for those who already downloaded the linux-2.6.38 sources, and do not want to redownload a kernel source tree (also, historically there was no linux-whatever-rcX.tar.bz2, pre-releases were only distributed as patches to the previous stable kernel). > 4. copy and paste your patch > https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=57802 and place it in > file `pa` > 5. apply your patch by patch -p1 < pa. > > I failed :( > > > > On Mon, May 16, 2011 at 9:54 AM, Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On 05/16/2011 08:48 AM, Flaminigo wrote: >>> >>> I looked the patch you sent me.
