I am trying to compile the 2.4.20 kernel whith the bttv 0.7.105 patch applied to it. I have got it from kernel.org, and then try to patch it with the file "patch-2.4.20-kraxel.gz" from bytesex.org but there are three places where the patch fails: ==================================================================================== [jsantos@mediabox linux]$ gunzip -cd bttv_patches/no_usados/patch-2.4.20-kraxel.gz |patch -p0 patching file linux-2.4.20/arch/x86_64/config.in patching file linux-2.4.20/drivers/media/video/videodev.c patching file linux-2.4.20/include/scsi/scsi.h patching file linux-2.4.20/include/linux/major.h patching file linux/include/linux/chio.h patching file linux-2.4.20/drivers/scsi/ch.c patching file linux-2.4.20/drivers/scsi/Makefile patching file linux-2.4.20/drivers/scsi/Config.in can't find file to patch at input line 1332 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
