I am requiring squashfs support in the 2.6.22 kernel (which isn't supported natively). I'm trying to patch it, but it errors out using the standard squashfs patch. There is a "further" patch here, and I'm looking to add the patch in the last post. However, I'm used to using the "patch" utility for kernel patching and am unsure how to apply this (looks like a diff file).

Does anyone know how to apply this type of a patch? Also, would this be applied directly to the kernel source, or to the original 2.6.20 patch?

that looks like a patch applied to the patch to me.
patch -Np1 -i
is what i would do
if the patch is outside of the squashfs directory and you are inside do
patch -Np1 -i ../nameofpatch
i might be wrong
sometimes patches go in the same directory as the file they are trying to patch but that one looks like it fits the directory structure.

Thanks for the help. Here's the output (which indicates an error in the patch's patch to me):

Anybody have an idea on how to fix the thing?
