Linux kernels: a short note

[Jonathan Hartje]

Joseph,
    I was just working on this a few minutes ago. I downloaded the 11.11 
source and patch-rc5 files from kernel.org. I patched the kernel source 
but an umable to build the kernel sucessfully. (i.e. mmap.o fails 
because of an incompatible function call). Assuming I'm in the newly 
untared source dir and the patch has also been bunzipped, is the 
following patch command correct?

hartje at envy> patch -p1 < ../patch-2.6.12-rc5

Any info is greatly appreciated. BTW, I'm building with a stock 4.0.1 
install on a new 1.67 GHz powerbook.

Thanks,
Jonathan
