Hi guys, i was following your advice about patching the 2.4.14 kernel to
obtain the ext3 support though i am not being able to do so!!!!
i have the 2.4.14 kernel tree i downloaded from www.kernel.org site in my
/usr/src/kernel-2.4.14
and i have the patch-2.4.15-pre9.gz patch in the /usr/src ( as it is
recomended in the kernel how to.
i have done the following command:
#zcat patch-2.4.15-pre9.gz | patch -p0 ( as the example of the how to
displays!!!! )
and was then presented with the following error:
"
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -u --recursive --new-file v2.4.14/linux/CREDITS linux/CREDITS
|--- v2.4.14/linux/CREDITS Mon Nov 5 15:55:25 2001
|+++ linux/CREDITS Sun Nov 11 10:09:32 2001
--------------------------
File to patch: /usr/src/linux-2.4.14
patch: **** File /usr/src/linux-2.4.14 is not a regular file -- can't patch"
i would lioke to know ho to apply the pacth!!!! so i can then compile a
kernel which supports ext3.
By the way when is the linux kernel 2.4.15 comming out???
Can u guys recomend me some good books about linux programing and stuff??
well, that's all for now. tks, AStinus
