how to patch this?

I applied the wrong patch and I got the rejects, then I applied the right
patch and it "reversed" the prior patch. On the reverse I got rejected
lines too. I guess that is a good thing.

Wow, this is gettin' nasty.

I gonna ASSUME that the patch is ok and move on to the next problem. if the
whole thing doesn't work, i'll begin again.

i found the kernel source at redhat. rpm -ivh kerne*

and now i have a new *2.4.2 directory under /usr/src. In that dir is a
sub-dir called */kernel. In THAT dir are bunch of .c files, such as acct.c,
capability.c, context.c, .depend, and dma.c.

i pointed the make config script at this */kernel dir and it the script is
rejected it. have i pointed it to the right place? If not, what does a
kernel source look like? Is it one file or many?
