I'm confused about how to properly patch a kernel. I tried to patch a
kernel recently with Mingo's patch, and it failed. In researching the
problem, I came up with this:
http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/HowToApplyAPatch
From what I can understand, this document is telling me
that I would
need to download kernel 2.6 (no incremental versions), and apply the
most recent Mingo patch (as of today, 2.6.16-rt20) from there. Prior
to reading this, I always thought that you downloaded the most recent
full kernel (as of today, 2.6.16.15), the most recent patch (as of
today, 2.6.16-rt20), and go from there. Which way is the proper way?

Downloading kernel 2.6.16.15 and patch 2.6.16-rt20 is correct. The FAQ
likely applies to patches for getting 2.6.0 to 2.6.15. What error do you
see when you try applying 2.6.16-rt20 to 2.6.16.15?

Unfortunately, I did not save any of the output. I intend to try this
again this week, I will post back to this thread with the results.
While this may not be enough info to be helpful, I do remember getting
something that asked about "patch already being applied, assume -R?",
which was confusing. How could a vanilla kernel already have
information from Mingo's patches?

Actually, if the -rt patches follow the normal patch name convention,
they should be applied to 2.6.16 not any of the stable team releases
[2.6.16.x].
You might be lucky though if the patches that the stable team applied
are compatible to the -rt patches [which they probably are most of the
time].

If you use the wrong patchlevel [-p0, -p1, etc] the program patch might
get confused because the patchfile doesn't seem to fit. The canonical
way to apply the -rt patch to a kernel ist:
tar xjf linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2
cd linux 2.6.16
patch --dry-run -p1 < /path/to/patch-2.6.16-rt20
#if previous line ran without errors do:
patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-2.6.16-rt20
Have fun,

2.6.16-rt20 is not guaranteed to apply cleanly to 2.6.16.15. In fact, it
does not. The errors are trivial to resolve, but only if you have some
idea of what you are doing.
Ingo's patches are against 2.6.16, so you should download that and then
apply 2.6.16-rt20. This way you don't get the bugfixes between 2.6.16 and
2.6.16.15, but then again, who said you'd get a stable kernel if you
use -rt patches? ;)

I recently built my first -rt kernel.
WRT 2.6.16-rt20, I wasn't sure whether to apply this patch to the latest
kernel (2.6.16.<whatever>) or just 2.6.16.
To be safe I patched to 2.6.16, and it worked fine.
I did this because following the "prepatch" example:
<snipped from kernel.org>
(for example, the 2.6.12-rc4 prepatch should be applied to the 2.6.11
kernel sources, not, for example, 2.6.11.10.)
</snipped>

It's easier than you think it is - the name of the mingo patch tells you
exactly which kernel to apply it against. In this case it's 2.6.16.

Thank you very much for all your responses. It is very clear to me now.
In an effort to be helpful, I'm going to compile all of this
information into a HOWTO and post it on my website. Once it's done
I'll send a link.

Of course, please do whatever you need to. I'll see to it that a
share-alike license gets put on the site today.
