What patch(es) are you applying against 2.4.18? Is it a vendor's 2.4.18
kernel source, or a "vanilla" one from a kernel.org mirror?

"Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected" is usually an
indication that you're trying to apply something that has already been
applied, which is particularly the case if you're applying it against a
vendor kernel source. You should always reply to those questions, but
your answer will of course depend on what patch you're applying to what
kernel.
