Pactching kernel with fbsplash.patch (SOLVED)

Never patched a kernel before and i'm having problems!!

This what i've done so far (as root):

1. Installed kernel26-ck (2.6.22-ck) with pacman and rebooted into arch using that kernel
2. downloaded the fbsplash via (genpatches-2.6.22-1.extras.tar.bz2)
3. put the splash.patch file into /usr/src
4. made a symlink for current kernel in /usr/src; giving /usr/src/linux --> /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.22-ck
5. cd /usr/src/linux
6. patch -p1 < ../splash.patch

# NOTE: looking into using the abs method of PKGBUILD'ing a custom kernel with patches - hopefully i'll do better!!

The best way to do this is by emulating the abs versions of the standard kernel as described in these forums

1. copy the abs version of the stock kernel26
2. adjust the PKGBUILD to include spock's patch (not gentoo's)
3. makepkg
4. pacman -U the new kernel

Then get on with fbsplash!
