Sorry, this solution may not be optimum, but I just cut and paste what I have done here. Then u apply the following commands: List all version. git tag -l checkout the older version ---> rc7. git checkout -b rc7_branch v2.6.26-rc7 make sure new branch rc7 is created. git branch create a new package with the rc7 files. tar cvfz /tmp/2.6.26-rc7.tgz `git-ls-files` Go somewhere and untar it: mkdir 2.6.26-rc7 cd 2.6.26-rc7/ tar xvfz /tmp/2.6.26-rc7.tgz Download the MMU patch into the same directory: wget -nd -np -r http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.6/2.6.26-rc7/mmu-notifier-v18/ Apply the patch: patch -p1 < list_del_init_rcu patch -p1 < mm_take_all_locks patch -p1 < mmu-notifier-core patch -p1 < reserved-ram patch -p1 < srcu patch -p1 < outside-pt-lock patch -p1 < free_pgtables patch -p1 < unmap_vmas patch -p1 < rwsem-contended patch -p1 < i_mmap_lock_to_sem patch -p1 < anon-vma patch -p1 < mm_take_all_locks-rwsem patch -p1 < zap-page-range patch -p1 < mmap-sems All patches should show successful application. Now compile. -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
