Kernel Patching

[txrandom]

I'm trying to patch the 2.6.18 kernel on a CentOS machine to 2.6.30 (with web100).

Whenever I run the web100 script, I'm getting an error:

Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej

I'm guessing this file is important or it wouldn't be included. Whenever I go through the networking options after continuing on, I don't see the web100 options I should see. I believe it has something to do with the web100 patch not working correctly.

Any ideas how this can be fixed?

You're trying to go directly from 2.6.18->2.6.30? I don't think there are any patches for that, if you really wanna patch that far you'd have to do each revision individually.

I downloaded the full 2.6.30 source code and then tried applying the web100 patch.

Was the web100 patch created against 2.6.30?

Yes, they have a couple different ones on their website, and I downloaded the 2.6.30 version.

Makefile.rej should contain the rejected chunk so open it up and see if it was something important.
