[SOLVED] How apply a patch on a custom kernel from source on debian?

AleLinuxBSD · 02-28-2011, 07:46 AM

I would like build a custom kernel from source on debian squeeze.

At that moment the last stable release is the 2.6.37.2 but i'm problem.

Quote:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.37.2$ sudo patch < patch-2.6.37.2.bz2 -p1
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

Or perhaps on the linux-kernel-2.6.37.2 is already added the patch so isn't necessary?

Might you have to decompress the patch? It looks like it has a .bz2 extension, I've always used plain-text patches

No i haven't decompress the patch ...
This is my first time that i compile a kernel without using kernelcheck (that don't work on debian and however i would like try a different way).

But it's possible that the package:
linux-kernel-2.6.37.2
already have the patch inside it?
What i mean if is it a linux-kernel-2.6.37 plus patch 2?

I would understand that to mean that yes, it has already been applied
