Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

then how should I response?
I ever try to put again
atch-2.5.50-ac1.gz

What is the name of the directory containing your kernel source? For the
patch to work without typing in every filename, you could rename the
source's directory to linux.50

I download as enduser for example to /home/fsshl
linux-2.5.50.tar.gz
then I tar xfvz linux-2.5.50.tar.gz
it generate a directory linux-2.5.50 in my /home/fsshl
then I follow README in linux-2.5.50 to do unpatch the another downloaded patch-2.5.50-ac1.gz from kernel.org

www:/home/fsshl# gzip -cd patch-2.5.50-ac1.gz | patch -p1
can't find file to patch at input line 4

File to patch:

so the name of directory containing my kernel source should be /home/fsshl

in the promt of File to patch:
I tried both patch-2.5.50-ac1.gz and linux-2.5.50.tar.gz all not work

the line
gzip -cd patch-2.5.50-ac1.gz | patch -p1
in that readme doc should do
gzip -cd patch-2.5.50-ac1.gz | patch -p0
but someone in [EMAIL PROTECTED] told me
