kernel but I'dont know if to me use the patch 2.5.58 I
need to install the other patchs before, like patch

version than use all that patchs...

Yes, you need to apply each patch, using:

bzip2 -dc patch-2.5.53.bz2 | patch -p1

and you can test them first using:

bzip2 -dc patch-2.5.53.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run

Note - if 2.5.58 doesn't work, you can always download patch-2.5.58,
and apply it with:

bzip2 -dc patch-2.5.58.bz2 | patch -p1 -R

to create a 2.5.57 tree, even if you didn't go from 2.5.57 to 2.5.58
by using a patch.

Please resend according to the Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Namely,
your Signed-off-by: line and a proper changelog are a hard pre-requisity
to make the patch merging possible.
