Kernel patching 2.4.19pre1 -> 2.4.19pre2

[Danijel Schiavuzzi]

Hi.

I'm trying to patch a 2.4.17 clean source tree to the latest 2.4.19-pre8 tree.
I can patch it until the 2.4.19pre1.
When I try to apply patch-2.4.19pre2.bz2, this happens:

wolf:/usr/src# patch -p0 < patch-2.4.19-pre2

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]

I re-downloaded patch-2.4.19pre1.bz2 and tried again with the same results.
Where's the problem?
I'm using Debian 2.2 (Potato).
