Instead, cd to the top-level directory of your unpacked kernel source
tree (say, /usr/src/linux-2.4.18) and run:
zcat /wherever/you/put/acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff.gz | patch -p1

It doesn't matter where you put the patch file. Your current directory
matters, and you usually need a -p option to get rid of the appropriate
number of leading directory names from entries in the patch.
