BUT - redhat OVZ kernel SRC have mess of thousands of the patches and when I have downloaded it - i can't quickly get any idea in what orderthey should be applied.


First, we provide so-called combined patch on http://openvz.org/download/kernel/rhel5/. This one is generated by applying all the patches from the src.rpm in the correct order, and then diffing the result with vanilla 2.6.18. So you just use that combined patch.

If you want to apply individual patches, that's fine, too. Look at ovzkernel.spec file which is inside src.rpm, locate the %prep section and you will see how the kernel sources are modified. Note that '%patchNNN' commands refer to 'PatchNNN: filename' lines.

It might still be way too complex, so there's a third way -- install rpm binary to your Debian system and run something like

rpm -bp kernel*.src.rpm

This will run that %prep stage for you, ending up with the patched sources at some location.
