15 I have downloaded linux-2.6.14-rc3, but was unable to apply the patch: I
16 put it within /linux and wrote
17 patch --verbose -p1 < Patch_nvidiafb
18 Is that not correct? It failed on 5 hunks out of 5.

20 Nevertheless, I tried to compile the kernel using rivafb, but I got this
21 error:
22
23 init/built-in.c
24 .tmp_vmlinux1
25 localsymbol 0 (or 1 or 2 or 3):discarded in section
26 `.exit.data`from\ drivers/built-in.c
27 [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
28
29 I don't see to what item in menuconfig this could be related. There are
30 no such files as init/built-in or drivers/built-in.
31
32 Could you please enlighten me?
