Hi all.
I have an issue with kernel patching.
My system: OpenSuse 10.2, kernel version: 2.6.18.2.
I've downloaded the patch from kernel.org - 2.6.26. I've invoked the following command:
"patch -p1 -f < patch-2.6.26" (-f - because some files are not exist. to automatically skip this issues).
But during patching there are many FAILED messages like the following:
So the question is why are there some lines - FAILED and some lines - succeeded?
after this:
"make config" fails with errors in Kconfig file.
I"m installing my ATI card in FC4. I'm going off of instructions that i've found. The firs step says that i need my kernel sources which i've got then it says that i've gotta unpack them so i can make links to the file later. My kernel sources that i've got are .src.rpm I've installed them but... (1 Reply)
Hi All,
I've seen people build modules against a certain kernel source (eg in /usr/src/kernels/my_source/) and some people build against the sources in /lib/modules/my_source/build/
What is the difference and are there any benefits to using the /lib/modules source?

mem
MEM(4) Linux Programmer's Manual MEM(4)NAME
mem, kmem, port - system memory, kernel memory and system ports
DESCRIPTION
/dev/mem is a character device file that is an image of the main memory of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine (and even
patch) the system.
Byte addresses in /dev/mem are interpreted as physical memory addresses. References to nonexistent locations cause errors to be returned.
Examining and patching is likely to lead to unexpected results when read-only or write-only bits are present.
Since Linux 2.6.26, and depending on the architecture, the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM kernel configuration option limits the areas which can be
accessed through this file. For example: on x86, RAM access is not allowed but accessing memory-mapped PCI regions is.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/mem c 1 1
chown root:kmem /dev/mem
The file /dev/kmem is the same as /dev/mem, except that the kernel virtual memory rather than physical memory is accessed. Since Linux
2.6.26, this file is available only if the CONFIG_DEVKMEM kernel configuration option is enabled.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 640 /dev/kmem c 1 2
chown root:kmem /dev/kmem
/dev/port is similar to /dev/mem, but the I/O ports are accessed.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/port c 1 4
chown root:kmem /dev/port
FILES
