That looks right, but did you clean out the directory beforehand? I |
| 19 |
ask because the same thing happened to me. Everything worked when I |
| 20 |
ran "make clean" in /usr/src/linux before patching. |
| 21 |
|

Unfortunately, the patch didn't help, and the kernels i compiled won't |
| 23 |
boot any more than those compiled with the unpatched 2.6.14-rc3 do. |
