Hi everyone,

I am having trouble with with patching official kernel 2.6.1 with 2.6.2-rc2-mm1.bz2 patch. I followed the instructions from kerneltrap.org/node/view/875[/url] no help.

I did the following:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.1
bzip2 -dc ../2.6.2-rc2-mm1.bz2 | patch -p1

keep getting this type of errors.

patching file arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_VpdInfo.c
can't find file to patch at input line 10143
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

I tried with linux-2.6.0 still same result. Anyone know what I did wrong? Thank you for helping!!

PS: However if I patch just regular patch not mm patch, then there would be no problem!!

Change the -p1 to -p0 and see if the error goes away.

Thanks, but I got the same problem! when tried p0!
