Hi, I had this problem when trying to patch Red Hat 6.1. It turned out that Red Hat hadn't provided the full source in their .rpm files. I downloaded a 2.2.14 kernel source and uncompressed it into my /src/usr directory then re-ran the patch and all was well. The complete URL is: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.14.tar.gz I got this info from some helpful folks on the blinux list and I hope this helps you too!

Is your linux source directory named linux? Linux-2.2.13 or whatever won't cut it. Are you sitting in the /usr/src directory when you run the patch command? If you are in the linux directory it won't work because it expects to patch to the directory linux. What version of patch are you using? my patch is version 2.5. Okay, let's start from there.
