patching the kernel compilation
Hi,

I am using redhat6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15.
I guessed my kernel is 2.2.5 and wanted to upgrade to 2.2.15. But patch says `previously applied patch detected: Assume -R?'. So i came to know I am trying to degrade the kernel. It means I have kernel 2.2.15 or above. Does it make sense?.

Then I followed these steps.

#pwd
/usr/src
#cat linux/ipvs-0.9.11-2.2.14.patch | patch -p0

can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

I don't know how to proceed further.

Thanks for any help.
