[Linux-parport] ppscsi will not insert in kernel 2.6.13

[Dion van Oirschot]

Hello and thanks for the quick response, this gives me hope,


The only thing is, I am still a newby. I tried to apply the fix to the 
module but to be honest, I don't really know what I am doing. I tried to 
compile the original module the 'Debian way' as described (downloading 
the deb package with apt-get and then with module-assistent). But now I 
suppose I have to work from source? I have found out I can download the 
source-code of the original patch with 'apt-get source ppscsi-source'. I 
put the source code in /tmp/ppscsi. But now I am totally lost. Here is 
some output from what is is in /tmp/ppscsi:

linux-ppscsi-2.6.9.patch.orig  linux-ppscsi-2.6.x.patch

I have no clue to which file to apply the patch now.
A friend of mine told me to use:

patch -sp1 < patchfile but what would be the patchfile?

I also downloaded the new patch in the /home/Dion/My Downloads dir (the 
.bin file) and used bunzip2 to unpack it to
/home/Dion/My Downloads/linux-ppscsi-2.6.9.patch-0001.bin.out  (bunzip2 
said: no filename to name the unpacked file, so using .out)

That is where I am now. What are the next steps if I want to build the 
patched patch as a module?

Thanks for any help!

Greetings,

Dion
