What command did you attempt to use to patch the kernel? I just used the 
PNPBIOS patch yesterday against a Debian 2.4.16 kernel source without 
problems. In the (unpacked) kernel source directory, say, 
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.16, I did

patch -p1 <[patchfilename]

assuming your patch is in the same directory. Is it failing to patch?
