Q: Kernel patching
I've never applied a patch to a kernel before, so please bear with me.
Applying patch-2.4.7-ac10 to kernel 2.4.7 I get many messages such as this:
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file include/asm-um/segment.h.rej
The next patch would create the file include/asm-um/semaphore.h, which already exists! Skipping patch.
Is this normal?

OK, I got it to work. My mistake was trying to use patch-kernel instead of just patch.
