Most of the patches assume that your current working directory is /usr/src If you are in /usr/src/linux* try "patch -p1 <patch" You can browse the patch with less and see at the "diff" line what the expected hierachy looks like - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
