升级内核的问题

flybnb

我在kernel上面下载了2.6.14版的内核，是个patch-2.6.14.bzip2的包，解开后装到了/usr/src下面，打包后是个patch-2.6.14.gz的一个包，我按书上说的用zcat patch-2.6.14.gz | patch -p0命令安装，结果出现以下东西
[root@localhost src]# zcat patch-2.6.14.gz  | patch -p0
The next patch would create the file b/.gitignore,
which already exists!  Assume -R? [n]
Apply anyway? [n]
Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file b/.gitignore.rej
can't find file to patch at input line 41
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/COPYING b/COPYING
|index 2a7e338..ca442d3 100644
|--- a/COPYING
|+++ b/COPYING
--------------------------
File to patch:
Skip this patch? [y]
Skipping patch.
2 out of 2 hunks ignored

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

有几处提问的地方我看不懂，都是按回车过去的，请问哪个知道哪里出错了

patch本来是为了减少下载的代价，而从一个版本到另一个版本进行过渡而使用的工具，是用diff在两个源码目录生成的，如从ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.14.bz2 下载了patch-2.6.14.bz2后，它是从2.6.13至2.6.14两个版本之间生成的差异文件，所以你必须先有2.6.13的源码才能打上这个patch文件，看你写的输出信息里应该是你的/usr/src/中没有2.6.13的代码对吧？那是肯定会patch不成功的，（成功的情况应该是不会再有任何提示就结束的）

如果没有2.6.13的代码不如直接下载2.6.14的代码，不用patch了，此处：
