The 'diff' utility creates the patch file, based on the original and the new file. eg. if you have changed linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S, and the original file is linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S.orig, then send me the output of the following command: diff -u linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S.orig linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S you can use 'diff -rNu linux-2.4.17-TUX-A0 linux' to diff two trees, but in that case run 'make mrproper' in both trees so that no build related files are around. always check out the diff that you are sending, whether it's really what you want to send.
