[oclug] More Kernel Patches

[Gorm Jensen]

With cwd = /usr/src and a patchfile existing in /us/src, I tried to apply a
kernel patch using the command `bzcat patchfile | patch -p0`

The command produced approx 3000 lines of text from which the following is
extracted:
# ...start extract
    can't find file to patch at input line 4
    Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
    The text leading up to this was:
    --------------------------
    |diff -u --new-file --recursive --exclude-from /usr/src/exclude
linux.vanilla/CREDITS         linux.19p1/CREDITS
    |--- linux.vanilla/CREDITS Mon Dec 11 22:12:31 2000
    |+++ linux.19p1/CREDITS Wed Dec 13 21:50:25 2000
    --------------------------
    File to patch:
    Skip this patch? [y]
    Skipping patch.
    2 out of 2 hunks ignored
# ...... end extract

The 4th line in each section of the patch file is similar to "@@ -23,6
+23,12 @@" and there is nothing resembling a file name anywhere near the 4th
line.

What must be done to apply the patch?
