I'm confused about how to properly patch a kernel. I tried to patch a
kernel recently with Mingo's patch, and it failed. In researching the
problem, I came up with this:
http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/HowToApplyAPatch
From what I can understand, this document is telling me
that I would
need to download kernel 2.6 (no incremental versions), and apply the
most recent Mingo patch (as of today, 2.6.16-rt20) from there. Prior
to reading this, I always thought that you downloaded the most recent
full kernel (as of today, 2.6.16.15), the most recent patch (as of
today, 2.6.16-rt20), and go from there. Which way is the proper way?
