From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Faccini, Bruno" Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 07:12:51 +0000 Subject: RE: [Linux-ia64] Problems building "2.4.0-test9" kernel source on Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Creating a new and "virgin" Kernel source tree with the base "linux-2.4.0-test9" tar-ball and apply "linux-2.4.0-test9-ia64-001004.diff.gz" on top of it worked (ie no "patch" pbs/errors at all) and finally allowed me to build a bootable + reliable Kernel. But this again looks to me as a possible improvement required with the Kernel distribs+patching process which appear to require an un-touched source tree receiving the base version and any further patches, in parrallel of a second one used for builds and config. changes and to be kept in-sync ....
