Hi, I am following the instructions found in 1. https://docs.pagure.org/docs-fedora/building-custom-kernel.html 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel.
I am trying to get fedora 29 support for microsoft surface pro 3 (including dock support). I am patching the 4.18.18-fc29 kernel, using the patches found in https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface, branch 4.18.20-4.
This is what I have done, ` git clone https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface cd linux-surface git checkout 4.18.20-4 cd ../ fedpkg clone -a kernel cd kernel fedpkg switch-branch f29 #going back to 4.18.18, git reset --hard 87f9453dd6777020e4968779d61437a6f20b3614 for i in ../linux-surface/patches/4.18/*; do ./scripts/newpatch.sh $i; done cp ../linux-surface/patches/4.18/* . `
After running `fedpkg prep` (Is this a good way to test?), `` Applying: hid Applying: sdcard_reader Applying: fatal: empty ident name (for <>) not allowed error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ul7jtS (%prep) `` Removing two of jakeday's patches (0008-wifi.patch, 0009-surface3_power.patch) solves the issue. 1. This error indicates there is something wrong with the patch files? It is issued by git
Running again `fedpkg prep`, ` Found unset config items, please set them to an appropriate value CONFIG_INTEL_IPTS=n CONFIG_SURFACE_ACPI=n `
I added both options to kernel-local file, but the error persists. It seems the file is not being used. 2. Is it possible to debug the total list of config options, including those added in kernel-local?
Thanks João Cortes

It indicates there's issues with the patches applying cleanly using "git am" against the Fedora kernel.

Did you run ./build_configs.sh once you added them to regenerate the configs? Once you've run that if you do a "git diff" you should see the changes in the kernel-*.config files
Thank you for the help.
The patch files were not generated with git format-patch, therefore git can't find some of the metadata. Hence the error 1.
I did run the ./build_configs.sh script, but the only file changed after editing kernel-local was kernel-local itself: ` ./build_configs.sh ` `` Building ../kernel_surface/kernel/kernel-x86_64.config ... done Building ../kernel/kernel-x86_64-debug.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-i686.config ... done Building ./kernel_surface/kernel/kernel-i686-debug.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-i686-PAE.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-i686-PAEdebug.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-ppc64le.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-ppc64le-debug.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-s390x.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-s390x-debug.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-aarch64.config ... done Building ./kernel-aarch64-debug.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-armv7hl.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-armv7hl-debug.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-armv7hl-lpae.config ... done Building ./kernel/kernel-armv7hl-lpae-debug.config ... done ``
