the last spock's fbsplash-0.9-r5-2.6.8-rc3.patch fails to patch the 2.6.8.1-mm kernel sources Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install mm-sources 2.try to patch with spock's fbsplash 3. Actual Results: the patch fails Expected Results: the patch succeeds
Created attachment 37942 [details, diff] modified fbsplash patch for the 2.6.8.1 mm kernel sources this patch should add to the mm-2.6.8.1-sources with the necessary code for successful compilation from splashutils from spock
mm-sources are for the mm patchset only, and fbsplash is not a part of mm. If you're using a kernel other than gentoo-dev-sources, you have to patch it by hand if you want to use splashutils and fbsplash. I'll put your patch on my devsite, in http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/archive/contrib so that people can use it to manually patch mm-sources.
