Eric,
You need to obtain the "linux-2.4.0-test6.tar.gz" source file
extract it and then patch with "patch-2.4.0-test6-rmk6.gz". Now you should
be able to apply "diff-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1.gz" patch.
Yes you need to apply the patches in order ie linux-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1
implies that you have the linux 2.4.0 test 6 kernel which has then been
patched with Russell King's (RMK) sixth patch and then with Nico Pitre's
(NP) first patch.
ATM diff-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1.gz should be the latest patch from NP.
So you should do something like this:
$ mkdir linux-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1
$ cd linux-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1
$ gzip -dc linux-2.4.0-test6.tar.gz |tar xvf -
$ cd linux
$ gzip -dc patch-2.4.0-test6-rmk6.gz |patch -p1
$ cd ..
$ gzip -dc diff-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1.gz | patch p1
