made a mistake.
+ Contrary to the patches for the 2.6.x kernels, patches for the 2.6.x.y
+ kernels (also known as the -stable kernels) are not incremental but
+ instead apply directly to the base 2.6.x kernel.
+ Please read Documentation/applying-patches.txt for more information.

Alternatively, the script patch-kernel can be used to automate this
process. It determines the current kernel version and applies any
patches found.
