Hello I am trying to update my suse 10.2 standard kernel 2.6.18.2-34 to 2.6.20.I am using this how to
http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_suse If I understand this how to correctly I have to take 2.6.18 and patch it to 2.6.20 then import my config into it.
When I do a dry run with this command while in the /usr/src/linux dir (I have changed the link to point to 2.6.18) 'bzip2 -dc /usr/src/patch-2.6.20.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run' I get this message
can't find file to patch at input line 3565
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/Documentation/hwmon/k8temp b/Documentation/hwmon/k8temp
|index 30d123b..0005c71 100644
|--- a/Documentation/hwmon/k8temp
|+++ b/Documentation/hwmon/k8temp
--------------------------
File to patch:
I checked and k8temp does not exist in 2.6.18 dir, what does this mean? Also am I using the correct files for patching the files I downloaded from
http://www.kernel.org/ is 'linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2' full source and 'patch-2.6.20-rc7-final.bz2'?
The reason I am trying to patch is to get my sound card to work it is a hda_intel with conexant codec, I have already patched ALSA to 14rc2 and debugged my DSDT from everything I have read the only thing left is patching the kernel. Any help or links would be greatly appreciated.
