I have just patched my 2.4.0 kernel with 2.4.1 and 2.4.1 patches. the patces worked o.k. ( i used "linux\scripts\patch-kernel linux")and there were no errors.

My kernel still shows as 2.4.0, how do i verify the kernel patches have actually been applied.( i have forgotten the flamming command ).

And should the kernel show as 2.4.2 on boot up.
Cheers

Try uname -r this gives you the version you are currently running and it should show 2.4.2 no matter if you patched 2.4.0 or installed from the entired 2.4.2 source. If it gives you 2.4.0 then you're running 2.4.0

As another method to see if the patch worked watch for the reiserfs support during the kernel configuration. If it's there the patch worked 'cause that's not included in 2.4.0

did you re-compile the kernel after you patched it?
