You need to say -p1 rather than -p0, to strip off the vanilla-2.4.3/ that
begins the filenames in the patch. Your prompt indicates you are in a
directory named linux-2.4.18-3 which is presumably the root of your Linux
kernel source tree.
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -ur vanilla-2.4.3/drivers/media/radio/radio-aimslab.c
As you can see, the patch contains vanilla-2.4.3 as the name of the directory
containing the Linux kernel.
Which also seems to show using a very old patch (2.4.3) to patch
a much later kernel.
I'd personally download a new kernel, latest patch, copy
your old kernel's .config into the new tree, type:
make oldconfig
and decide anything new you need, then get the latest v4l2 patch
off bytesex, cd into the new kernel top directory, do:
zcat /home/bill/v4l2-2.4.20-kraxel.gz | patch -p1
and look for errors.
(not sure what the bttv 8.14 is, unless it's an ancient
version of bttv-0.8, now at bttv-0.8.46)
Also, don't forget that when bttv-0.8 installs modules
under /lib/modules/`uname -r` you might have to remove
the ones that bttv-0.7 installed before, as well as
install the new btaudio, ....
