patch-2.4.22.bz2
 

I've recently downloaded http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...-2.4.22.bz2... and I would need some help in applying this patch. I've tryed to install according to kernel-howto but that is only for tar.gz archived paches. Maybe you could take some time in guideing me in upgareding my kernel.

PS: excuse my english and my rudeness :)

sounds like your prob starts with not using bunzip2 to unpack the sources.... in the kernel how to, where it says gzip -whatever whatever you should replace it with bunzip2

there is a gz, too
 

hi .. just get the patch-xxx.gz from kernel.org ftp.
should work then.
by the way, when u applied it, tell me the command line u used, because i cant make it work here...

Easiest way to extract from *.tar.bz2 files:

the patches name is patch-2.4.22.bz2 ... ok I unpack it... How do I apply it ?

root@dumbrava.com /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8 # bzip2 -dc patch-2.4.22.bz2 | patch -p0
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
