Is it sufficient to reply to the original post and add a > sign-off line? Well, I think it would be better to recreate the diff. What you have now does not apply: dvorobye@sd048:/work/zoo/src/linux-2.6$ git apply [pasted the patch] error: mips/au1000/pb1000/init.c: No such file or directory error: mips/au1000/pb1100/init.c: No such file or directory error: mips/au1000/pb1200/init.c: No such file or directory error: mips/au1000/mtx-1/init.c: No such file or directory error: mips/au1000/pb1500/init.c: No such file or directory error: mips/au1000/xxs1500/init.c: No such file or directory error: mips/au1000/pb1550/init.c: No such file or directory error: mips/au1000/db1x00/init.c: No such file or directory dvorobye@sd048:/work/zoo/src/linux-2.6$ For a quick intro to creating the kernel patches, please see Documentation/SubmittingPatches, which describes the gitless approach. However, as I mentioned earlier, using git is much better. Thanks, Dmitri
