Re: Applying patch to the kernel
Read the wiki.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ild_System
Edit - That patch is 3 years old. Are you sure that a) it's still needed b) it's compatible with current kernels?

There is a fairly recent discussion on lkml about that patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/22/630. So it seems the patch has some use, but is a poor workaround instead of a porper fix of the underlying problem.

Re: Applying patch to the kernel
I'm trying to apply an unrelated patch, but I'm guessing this guy will run into this issue as well, since it's with the arch patches.
When i run makepkg i get errors about it creating files that already exists. If i try to just ignore them makepkg returns failure. What is the proper way of working around this?

Re: Applying patch to the kernel
DelusionalLogic, this has nothing to do with the OPs issue. Please open your own thread. Also, (in that new thread) post the actual errors.
