PREV UP NEXT The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide - v1.2.13


5.2.2.1: Patching 1.2.13

I assume that you use an unmodified kernel source tree. However, if you use heavily modified kernel sources, it is still possible to change them for ftape with little effort (see Changing 1.2.13 by hand). You have already changed to the directory `/usr/src/linux/' which contains the kernel sources. Now do the following:

patch -p1 < /usr/src/ftape-4.03/patches/v1.2/linux-1.2.13.dif
patch -p1 < /usr/src/ftape-4.03/patches/v1.2/linux-1.2.13.dif.2

If this succeeds, then there should be three new files, namely

./kernel/ksyms.c.orig
./include/asm-i386/io.h.orig
./include/linux/wrapper.h

which are the original versions of the files without the `.orig' suffix. If you find files with a .rej suffix then the patch command failed. In this case please do

mv -f ./kernel/ksyms.c.orig ./kernel/ksyms.c
mv -f ./include/asm-i386/io.h.orig ./include/asm-i386/io.h
rm -f ./include/asm-i386/io.h.rej
rm -f ./kernel/ksyms.c.rej
rm -f ./include/linux/wrapper.h*

and then proceed to the next section (see Changing 1.2.13 by hand).
