I downloaded kernel linux-2.6.2.tar.gz and patch-2.6.2.bz2 from kernel source. Both files are dated 03-Feb.-2004.
Building new kernel from the source failed on fs/proc/array.o. Patching with patch file will have numerous warning message which says "Reversed patch detected! Assume -R [n]". From messages, it looks like the patch file is outdated. However, without patch, kernel failed on building. Running patch with force option also failed on file patching.
What is the best working 2.6.2 kernel and patch I can get from source tree?
Many thanks!
Eddie

The patch file is used for patching linux-2.6.1 -> 2.6.2 and not for
anything else. Basically you should probably do a
/bin/rm linux-2.6.2
tar xzvf linux-2.6.2.tar.gz
cd linux-2.6.2
and follow the instructions on compiling from the README.

linux-2.6.1 + patch-2.6.2 results in linux-2.6.2
If you download linux-2.6.2 you don't need to apply
any patches.
Please see http://www.kernelnewbies.org/
cheers,
Rik

Please fix your mailer not to post long lines.
The patch-2.6.2.bz2 file is intended to be applied to the 2.6.1 tree,
to update it to 2.6.2. It doesn't contain post 2.6.2 updates, which
is what your mail implied.
John.

This is a known compiler bug for gcc 2.96. See the following link for a
workaround patch, or upgrade your compiler.

Thanks fro all of your explanation. It looks like I have to make sure all my software is updated for 2.6.2 build process (my original linux is 2.4.18. I will check and try it again!
Thanks again!
