I have tried patching the 2.4.0 kernel with with supermount patch,
partial text below, but it fails. I get rejects and then no patch. Is
there something obviously wrong with this patch?
Running patch against linux-2.4.0.tar.bz2:
[root@localhost kpatches-2.4.0]# patch -p0 <linux-2.4.0-test12-supermount-0.5.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Is it simply that I am using the wrong strip option? I am in my patch directory,
/usr/src/kpatches-2.4.0 and running patch from there. I enter "patch -p0 < patchfile"
and when it asks for what file to patch I enter:
/usr/src/source/kernel/linux-2.4.0.tar.bz2
Is there something wrong with this? I have never patched before so I don't know
if I am really doing something evil or not.
