Kernel patch upgrade problem

[parun]

problem upgrading my kernel......

uname -a, redhat 6.1 2.2.12-20
I downloaded patches 13-17:

mv linux linux.old

after this command:

gunzip patch patchfile | patch -p0

when ever I attempted to apply this command my terminal window just hung? what is wrong I am applying patch-2.2.13.gz

[Gweedo]

Try the the following:


cd /usr/src
mv linux linux.old
cd linux


gzip -dc /path/to/patch-2.2.13.gz | patch -p1 #
gzip -dc /path/to/patch-2.2.14.gz | patch -p1
gzip -dc /path/to/patch-2.2.15.gz | patch -p1
gzip -dc /path/to/patch-2.2.16.gz | patch -p1
gzip -dc /path/to/patch-2.2.17.gz | patch -p1


mv linux linux-2.2.17
ln -s linux-2.2.17 linux

Now your patched. From here you have to configure it.


Good Luck. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif
