[linux-lvm] Am I patching the kernel incorrectly??

I had previously patched the kernel (stock 2.4.3) with the beta 6 patch.
Now I'm trying to update to beta 7. I tried patching the kernel is
exactly the same way as before (maybe a mistake). Most of the output is
pasted in here (at the end). I'm concerned about the prompts I got -
"Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]"
As you can see, I decided to reply "Y". Was that a correct assumption?
Afterwards I read the man page on "patch" and am now even less sure that
I did the right thing.
I don't want to compile the kernel modules (I have lvm as a module)
until I know that the source is in good condition.
patching file drivers/md/Makefile
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] y
The next patch would delete the file drivers/md/lvm-snap.h,
which does not exist! Assume -R? [n] y
patching file drivers/md/lvm-snap.h
patching file Documentation/ioctl-number.txt
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] y
Hunk #1 succeeded at 187 (offset 1 line).
