patch install problem

[zuwei]

Hello,

I am a new guy trying to use Linux KDB, and I am using kernel 2.4.7-10 running 
on AMD Athlon. I downloaded the KDB patch "kdb-v2.4-2.4.19-common-3.bz2" and 
"kdb-v2.4-2.4.19-i386-2.bz2". But when I install the common path using 

	patch -b -p1 <  kdb-v2.4-2.4.19-common-3
	
Then, it always tell me some hunk failed for several files. I also tried some 
other patch such as v1.8. But all the same. What should I do for that?

Thank you for your help!
