Re: Facing problem while patching LTTng 0.9.5 with linux kernel 2.6.21

Hi Srinivas,

the error you see is coming from the bash. You missed the for loop. Try the 
following (still all in one line).

[sreddy@l-blr-sddeg03 linux-2.6.21]$ 
  for a in `cat /scratch/sreddy/linux-2.6.21-kernel/lttng-0.9.5/series | 
  grep -v "^#"`; do patch -p1 < $a; done

Best,
  Daniel
