I believe the patches must be applied in order from lowest to highest.
>From linux/README:
- You can also upgrade between 2.4.xx releases by patching. Patches
are distributed in the traditional gzip and the new bzip2 format. To
install by patching, get all the newer patch files, enter the
directory in which you unpacked the kernel source and execute:
gzip -cd patchXX.gz | patch -p0
or
bzip2 -dc patchXX.bz2 | patch -p0
(repeat xx for all versions bigger than the version of your current
source tree, _in_order_) and you should be ok.
