Hello,

Trying my hand at patching my kernel. Here is the kernel Makefile header info:

iceland:/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.1# head -n 5 Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 22
EXTRAVERSION =
NAME = Holy Dancing Manatees, Batman!
iceland:/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.1# head -n 5 Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 22
EXTRAVERSION = .1
NAME = Holy Dancing Manatees, Batman!


I try to apply patch-2.6.22.2 and get the following:

iceland:/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.1# patch -p1 < patch-2.6.22.2
patching file Makefile
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej
patching file arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]

Not sure:

1) What "Hunk #1 FAILED at 1" is saying and

2) What "Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R?
[n]" means.

I see that it has detected the previous patch, but what is Assume -R?

Thanks,

lowbrow
