Seth, thanks for the response. see comments below.
Were you really trying to apply a patch from 2.4.6 to a redhat 2.4.18-3
kernel? There have been rather massive changes between 2.4.6 and 2.4.18,
No. I used linux-2.4.18-kgdb-1.5.patch on kernel-source-2.4.18-3
let alone redhat's 2.4.18-3 kernel. I wouldn't expect the patch to apply
properly.
Check for .rej files in the source tree -- conflicts that patch couldn't
resolve.
There was no .rej files in the source tree as patch itself went
through smoothly.
Check all the code touched by the patch, and make sure it still makes
sense in the middle of changed context. This might take a while.
First check if a newer version of the patch is available, one designed
to apply to 2.4.18 or 2.4.18-ac or something...
