I downloaded this patch, and moved it to the SOURCES dir.

i changed the line in the spec-file:

NEW Line=
#
# Patches 0 through 100 are meant for core subsystem upgrades
#
Patch1: patch-2.6.11.7.bz2

and followd up the how-to, here, on this site

after
rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec

a question appeard, and siad that a earlier patch has been found, Assume [n]
i pressed y, followed by enter

Is that OK?

There are actually two entries that need to be added to a spec file for each patch. You have the "Patch: blah.patch" and then you will see down farther in the spec file you need a "%patch1 -p1". This looks like a large patch and might very well screw up other patches down the line.
