Ok, I got it. So we have to do this: 1) If I have 2.6.8 and I want upgrade it to 2.6.8.1, I apply the 2.6.8.1 patch 2) If I have 2.6.8.1 and I want upgrade it to 2.6.8.2, I have to remove 2.6.8.1, so it can go back to 2.6.8 and I can apply the 2.6.8.2 directly on the 2.6.8 kernel. This is valid for any 2.6.8.x version for instance... 3) Finally, if I have 2.6.8.x kernel and I want upgrade it to 2.6.9, I can just remove the 2.6.8.x patch and apply 2.6.9 on 2.6.8 as I'm used to do. Ok, it seems reasonable now. Thank you very much. -- http://Processo.tk (1001 dias) http://U-br.tk Linux 2.6.7 São Paulo - SP
