Showing this, it seems you're not really familiar with compiling a new
kernel at all. Maybe first start with building a kernel for a PeeCee.
Then, try to boot it.

Those patch files contain the difference from a complete kernel source
(version n-1) to version n. So patch-2.4.20 is capable of changing a
source tree containing 2.4.19 to 2.4.20. To use this patch, you'll also
need the full sources of its preceding version, here, this is
linux-2.4.19.
