Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

File to patch:

that's what I get when I try to patch the kernel.
the kernel (2.4.22) is in a folder called linux, and it's vanilla.
I run Slackware 9.0

btw, I've never patched anything before...ever..

cd into your linux sources directory then issue patch with -p1.

thanks, it works great now
