There's obviously something I'm not understanding here. I used the
2.3.18ac2 patch on a clean 2.3.18 tree (patch -p1 < patch-2.3.18ac2) and
got told it was trying to make a new file called arch/i386/vmlinux.lds
which already existed. Running make mrproper gets rid of that file and
lets the patch run cleanly. Here's the confusing part to me: The
README file says to patch your kernel, then run make mrproper. But if I
do that it gets rid of the file the patch just created. Could someone
hit me with the cluestick on this one?
