[linux-lvm] Re: Installation Problems with 0.9

[John DeFranco <defranco@cup.hp.com>]

Hi,

Thanks Heinz, one other question then, if I install
things in the following sequence:

2.2.17
raid-2.2.17-A0
linux-2.2.17-rawio.patch
lvm-0.9-2.2.17-stock.patch

I get two hunk failures (#3,4) in drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c.
Are these expected or is there some other problem? If I
don't
load the raid-2.2.17-A0 patch everything is ok, but then
after I boot that kernel I cannot create any raid devices
so I need the raid-2.2.17-A0 patch.

Thanks.
