Problem in applying "random" patch

Problem in applying "random" patch

[vikrant]

Hi,

I am trying to apply the "random" patch using patchomatic ng, but I am
unable to apply it successfully. It refuses to show options for the random
patch, saying "random does not match your source trees, skipping...". It
then jumps to "raw" patch.

The kernel version on my test machine is 2.6.14.2 and iptables version is
1.3.4. The dsitribution is CentOS4.

I downloaded the latest "patch-o-matic-ng-20040621.tar.bz2" from
http://www.netfilter.org/. The command that I used for patching was:

# KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.14.2/
IPTABLES_DIR=/root/iptables-1.3.4/ ./runme base

I have made sure that KERNEL_DIR and IPTABLES_DIR path are correct. I had
also tried using two other kernel versions earlier, 2.6.9-5.0.3 and
2.6.9-22.0.1 with Iptables verion 1.2.11, but had got same results.

Thanks
Vikarnt

I have also kernel 2.6.14.2 but patch-o-matic-ng-20051117.tar.bz2 and
this works. Maybe this is the why ? My system is Debian Sarge, I'm not
sure if this matters.

HTH,

I just realised that random only works in 2.4 kernel
"http://svn.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/patch-o-matic-ng/patchlets/random/info?rev=4137&view=log"
.  I also saw this from on of /dev/rob0 messages:

I will try this, but in the meantime, if anyone on this list has
successfully implemented random on a 2.6 kernel, it would save me a lot of
efforts.

If nothing else works, I might try going down the patchomatic version.
