Applying kernel patch

Is it ok to apply the patch-2.6.15.bz2 into my 2.6.14.3 custom kernel?  Or should I from scratch the 2.6.15 kernel?

No, not ok - unless you also apply patches to cover all the other diffs in between. Easier to grab the 2.6.15 source, unless bandwidth is an issue for you.

Re: Applying kernel patch

So you're saying the patch-2.6.15.bz2 only has changes for the 2.6.15 kernel?

Re: Applying kernel patch

only changes since the last patch was released, yes. You could apply each patch in order though.
