Two things.  Make sure you are using the correct version of pcmcia-cs for that 
diff (in the case of the 09b patch it's version pcmcia-cs-3.1.33, the 13b patch 
needs 3.2.1).  Second, to get your kernel source look on the RH cds for 
kernel-source-2.4.2-2.xxxx.rpm.

If you got rejected hunks, then you will need to rectify those before you can 
proceed with compiling since that means not all of the patch successfully 
applied.  The .rej files tell you what hunks of data didn't work.
