Hi,

I am trying to use Debian's 2.6.20.7 patches on a kernel that I have gotten myself from www.kernel.org.

Rationale: I already have the kernel source on a disk and I am on a lowbandwith dialup modem so I don't want to get the entire source package, just the patches...

Googling around, I find contradictory directions. But I tried:

1. Unpack the source
2. Get http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.20-3.diff.gz = the patches.
3. cd to the source dir
4. zcat <dir>linux-2.6_2.6.20-3.diff.gz| patch -p1
(debian/patches is added to the source dir containing the patches)
5. export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES
6. make menconfig to get rid of PARA_VIRT=YES parameter
7. make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image


But it does not work! The patches are not added...

Anybody? What do I do wrong?

Hugo
