Installing fedora kernel source

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi! I am running a fresh FC17 install and need to patch and recompile my kernel for RT functionality. The RT patches only comes for some versions (patch-3.4.10-rt18.patch.gz being the latest one). I tried to follow this guide http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Buildi...Get_the_Source to get the Fedora kernel source, but it does not explain how to get a specific kernel version. The command used in the guide (yumdownloader --source kernel) will download kernel 3.5.something for me, which cannot be used with the RT patch. How do I specify the command to download the source for kernel ver (HowTos)

How to build source kernel 23 weeks 3 days ago

I have found the fedora docs for building a kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel This guide assumed that I would build from a src.rpm. If I wanted to build 3.7 directly from kernel.org sources then what steps are missing from the guide or is there a better guide?

linux patch files 1 year 11 weeks ago

can you anyone tell what the linux patch is? I want to install a real time kernel, so to compile the kernel first I need to add the downloaded real time patch to it :

patch -p1 < patch-rt-version

but what about the kernel's own patch? as I've seen when I download the kernel from kernel.org, the kernels patches are also in the same kernel folder.

Hello, I am new to the world of submitting and applying kernel patches and have some basic questions about how this all works.

I have read the article: http://lwn.net/Articles/406978/ Which talks about a patch for PTP hardware clock support. I want to know where the thread is that discusses this patch to ask about further development. I also want to know where I can download the patch itself?

Patchlist for Ubuntu kernels 10 weeks 22 hours ago

I am experiencing a known bug with OCFS2 and Linux 3.5 and I'm wondering how I can tell if the patch is in a specific Ubuntu kernel or not.

The exact patch is here: https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=smushran/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a2118b30...

Its only a mild inconvenience so I don't want to recompile the kernel from scratch (mostly laziness) however I do want to know w
