No upgrade after patch update?
Problem solved, thanks to everyone
Hi all I patched my 2.6.13 patch as per /usr/src/linux-2.6.13/README. No problems at all seems I had no error output, but now when I ask for version (uname -r) I still get 2.6.13 What am I missing? Thanks. |
you just patched not changed the version... in this case you have to download a new kernel version and compile it.
|
What patch did you apply, and to which kernel?

Applied patch 2.6.14 to kernel 2.6.13 -- maginotjr Means patching does not upgrade version? West. |

Code:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile |
patching only gives you the most up to date changes so it works like the newest kernel, but the version is still the same
with a patch, you are not changing the kernel, just updating it |

1. download the patch (patch-2.6.14.bz2)
2. uncompress it : bunzip2 patch-2.6.14.bz2 3. cd /path/to/linux-2.6.13 4. apply the patch patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-2.6.14 Look at the Makefile : SUBLEVEL = 14 |

Thanks for the fast response. Actually, its not a silly question. I haven't recompiled the kernel. I thaught it wasn't necesary. (mistakes out of README's wrong interpretation) I'll recomplile when I get back from work and I'll let you know of the outcome. Thank you very much! West. |

Peace. :cool: |
Nobber: You were right. Thanks a lot. Just recompliling
applied all the changes. I apreciate your help. keefaz: I like your patching procedure better than the README's suggested. I'm going to write your minihowto on my precedures notebook. Thank you West. |
