Look at the patch file - you should see a line which modifies EXTRAVERSION right near the top. For example: $ bzcat patch-2.6.13.4.bz2 |head diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 13 -EXTRAVERSION = +EXTRAVERSION = .4 NAME=Woozy Numbat The patch files are from the base release, not the last EXTRAVERSION - so you need linux-2.6.13 to patch rather than linux-2.6.13.2.
