You didn't say which directory you were in.  I'm presuming you were in
the top-level kernel source directory.  Also, re-read patch(1) and make
sure you understand what -p does...

-p0 is the same as not using the -p option at all.

In all likelihood, you want to use -p1.  The "linux-2.4" section, I'd
wager, is referring to the top-level source directory...
