I'm not a Linux kernel expert... Grab a copy of the kernel (the patch is against 3.13-rc7, but it should apply cleanly to just about any 3.7+ version), apply the patch (patch -p1 < thepatch), and then build as usual. Here's a (fairly complex) guide to building kernels on Fedora: <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel</a> Although that is for generating rpm's... you can probably do something much simpler for just a local install, but I can't help with that (these distros tend to expect initrd's, etc, which I know fairly little about and thus avoid). Let me know if you don't plan on testing this out in the next week or so; I think the patch is fairly safe to just check in anyways, so you'd be able to test it out eventually in a future release.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
