Debian distributed kernels also sport a lot of patches. I was unable 
to get the ACPI patch to work on the debian kernel.

Info (for debian) on what's been patched is available in a README.Debian
file in the the main directory of the expanded package. e.g.:
	/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/README.Debian
