I am trying to patch from 2.6.11.6 to 2.6.11.7 using the command: patch -E -p1 <patchfile in /usrsrc/linux-2.6. However, I am getting messages that a previous patch was applied and some y/n questions. I just ain't working. Isn't this the way you are supposed to patch kernels from kernel.org?
I applied the 2.6.11.7 patch to the vanilla 2.6.11 tree. No problems. I don't think you can apply the patch to (already patched) 2.6.11.6. Maybe you can use patch to back out the 2.6.11.6 patch and then patch with 2.6.11.7.
Regards,
John
