Hi all,
I am sort of new to this kernel stuff. I was about to build kernel 2.6.30.6. But in the same page I found there is a patch bundle with the same name patch-2.6.30.6 . I am wondering what is this patch for? Is it a patch which I have to apply before I compile the kernel to fix the bugs in 2.6.30.6 and the final image will be of kernel 2.6.30.6? Or is it a patch which will convert the downloaded kernel files to 2.6.31 which is the latest kernel?

Thanks,
Tony
