I've never applied a patch to a kernel before, so please bear with me.

Applying patch-2.4.7-ac10 to kernel 2.4.7 I get many messages such as
this:

1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file
include/asm-um/segment.h.rej
The next patch would create the file include/asm-um/semaphore.h,
which already exists! Skipping patch.

Is this normal?
