Yes, on each release I update the ACPI patch for every release that I
support.

I just tested it on a clean 2.4.25 tree and got no rejects.
(I tested the .gz edition)

Either there was a patch in your tree already, or the
patch got corrupted.  Note that kernel.org signs their files
and you can verify their valididity per instructions in here:

well 2.4.24 and 2.4.25 just have been released because one security
issue, so doesn't have much differences in concerning of acpi and (I
think) that can be delete it.

In fact, you overwrite the patch and can't be applied against 2.26.pre6
isn't it ? I think one 
acpi-20040311-2.4.26-pre6.diff.gz could be useful for testing, before
been released into kernel tree.
