RE: LKCD Installation on RH AS 2.1

Hi Nathan
The patch you are using is for stock kernel 2.4.9 (download from
www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org>  ) and it is not for Redhat patched
kernel. Red hat has made changes in stock kernel so the patch is not
applicable for Redhat Patched kernel.

Subject: [lkcd-general] LKCD Installation on RH AS 2.1



All, 

        HELP!  I am trying to install LKCD onto a Dell PowerEdge 6650
running Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 and the 2.4.9-e.25enterprise
kernel.  Here are my results: 

1.  Install kernel-source-2.4.9-e.25.i386.rpm. 
2.  Copy /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.25 to /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.25.lkcd 
3.  cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.25.lkcd 
4.  patch -p1 < /root/lkcd-4.1-1-2.4.9.patch 

        This is where the trouble starts.  I get many errors of the
following types: 

Hunk #1 succeeded at 162 with fuzz 1 (offset 14 lines). 
Hunk #2 FAILED at 262. 
Hunk #3 succeeded at 290 with fuzz 2 (offset 31 lines). 
Hunk #4 succeeded at 350 (offset 19 lines). 
1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej 
can't find file to patch at input line 63 
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? 
The text leading up to this was: 
-------------------------- 
|diff -Naur linux/arch/alpha/config.in linux-2.4.9.lkcd/arch/alpha/config.in

|--- linux/arch/alpha/config.in Sun Aug 12 23:21:41 2001 
|+++ linux-2.4.9.lkcd/arch/alpha/config.in      Thu May 30 15:26:24 2002 

        Not only are there many hunks that fail, but it also complains about
missing seven different files.  When I finish and menuconfig the option to
enable lkcd doesn't even appear in the Kernel Hacking section.  Am I using
the wrong patch for this kernel, or is there another issue anyone can see? 

Thanks,
