The patch says:
diff -u --recursive --new-file v2.1.127/linux/init/main.c linux/init/main.c --- v2.1.127/linux/init/main.c Sun Nov 8 14:03:12 1998 +++ linux/init/main.c Sun Nov 8 14:06:18 1998 @@ -377,7 +377,7 @@ int i=1;
while (cur && isdigit(*cur) && i <= 10) { - ints[i++] = simple_strtoul(cur,NULL,0); + ints[i++] = simple_strtol(cur,NULL,0); if ((cur = strchr(cur,',')) != NULL) cur++; } i.e., change simple_strtoul() for simple_strtol(). The later considers negative numbers, which is supposed to be the reason for the patch; but the while loop doesn't consider a '-' sign part of a number?! -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Viña del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
