some help with a kernel patch?

so I've been looking at this link.

and I'm not sure i understand what i need to do, but I've been looking at the wiki on how to compile arch's kernel........and well, as a dumb l-user, wondering if someone could simplify this for me......maybe step by step?

Re: some help with a kernel patch?

The link you have posted IS a step by step guide, it is difficult to go more step-by-steppish. If on the contrary you do not want to use that method (which works in arch as in any other distro) but want to use the so-called ABS method, then you should follow the two articles in the wiki, and they are very detailed and step-by-step too. May be you can point us to the aspects you do not understand?

Re: some help with a kernel patch?

its looking more like a point form summary of what needs to be done to me, thats why im looking at the arch wiki, and well, i'm not getting it. i can use linux, but i only know how to troubleshoot windows. i'm trying to get away from that

Re: some help with a kernel patch?

guess im screwed? no matter, im runnign a 2.6.23 kernel, and what i see, the newest version of that patch, is for 2.6.13 or something......im not up to downgrading kernels, too technical for me. let alone trying to patch code....

Re: some help with a kernel patch?

What do you want to do with your Xbox?
Do you want to run linux on it or just want to acces its hard drive?

You could take a look at the xbox-linux wiki
Maybe you can find some useful information there

Re: some help with a kernel patch?

i just want to be able to access hard drives through my pc to backup, or copy games to them that way, much faster than ftp or copying from the discs i would think

that link is a step by step guide. If u actually tried to compile your own kernel u would realize there is a window that pops up and has a whole bunch of menu items that u can select and deselect. These are options that the kernel will/will not compile against when its time to compile.

The steps they have posted in that link are directly linked to the menu items that u need to explicitly change to 'ON' for the patch to work once the kernel is compiled. U will still need to apply the patch.
