You used the kernel-source package, right ?
This package has already various patches applied, see package
description: "This package provides the source code for the Linux
kernel version 2.4.21 with modifications by Debian.".
Therefore your patch does not apply cleanly. Please try downloading
the kernel source from kernel.org and then apply your ACPI patch.
Bye,
Joerg
