Your problem is likely because Red hat already applies
10 bazillion patches to the kernel for their packages, so
there's little chance that the patch from that site will
apply cleanly.
Well the patch maintainer told me to use the 2.6.18.0 patch, but...
So you, or someone will have to fix the patch,
Well I hope for them to get the patch right soon...
or go download
the raw kernel sources that the patch is for and use that
kernel instead knowing that you'll likely have other problems
that Red Hat's patches were designed to prevent.
I am kind of thinking this patch is for FC6's 2.6.18.0 kernel, which as
you hint is different from RHEL/Centos' 2.6.18.0 kernel.
Oh, I WAS told NOT to use the patch for 2.6.18.1
Welcome to the development world of linux 2.6. I miss the older
model they used on 2.4 and earlier. Now distributions are expected
to maintain the stable kernels, which is fine until you need/want
to do something like your trying to do. In the past this
was much easier.
Fortunately I haven't had to patch the kernel for years.
