Daniel,

I'm really struggling here - I can't seem to get the original patch to
apply, even manually.

I tried this:

Created ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/xen-large-disk.patch using the content here:

   http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?cs=0c0ef61de06b

Installed kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.src.rpm.

Ran "rpmbuild -bp ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel-xen.spec"

Switched to ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18

Ran patch -p2 < ../../SOURCES/xen-large-disks.patch

Result:

can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
