which distribution do you use?
and are the kernel sources installed as well on your system?
If you know what you do then
1. Move the downloaded kernel patch to the /usr/src/linux directory.
2. cd /usr/src/linux
3. If you downloaded a patch with a .gz extension, execute the following command:
gunzip patch-2.6.x.gz
If you downloaded a patch with a .bz2 extension, execute the following command:
bunzip2 patch-2.6.x.bz2
4. There should now be a file called patch-2.6.x in the /usr/src/linux directory. Apply the patch to the kernel source tree with the following command:
patch -p1 < patch-2.6.x
You should now be ready to set the configuation for the new kernel you wish to build.
