I am not fond of any particular kernel, they just come with the system 
updates as you well know.

Booted the oldest kernel I have left,

[root at box10 source]# uname -a
Linux box10 3.10.7-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 15 23:19:45 UTC 2013 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And get the error:

[root at box10 source]# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
patch: **** Can't open patch file /tmp/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch : 
No such file or directory

Do I need an older kernel? I don't understand what I am doing, just 
following instructions, where does the "patch" come from?
