This directory contains various kernel patches, typically from a clean Linus version to m68k version. !!Some patches *will* have additional version relevant information inside them. Read it first !! Generally the procedure to build a new kernel version 2.4.XX looks like this: mkdir new-dir cd new-dir wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.XX.tar.gz wget linux-q40.sourceforge.net/kernel-diffs/patch-2.4.XX-m68k.diff.bz2 tar xzf linux-2.4.XX.tar.gz mv linux linux-2.4.XX cd linux-2.4.XX bzip -dc ../patch-2.4.XX-m68k.diff.bz2 | patch -p1 -s ## create appropriate .config or copy it from some old version ## make oldconfig make dep make make modules make modules_install ## now transfer the "vmlinux" image to an SMSQ partition and you ## are ready to boot the new kernel.
