Ok, i have tried out everything, i have patched one by one and all at
once, but i had the same result.

1: (first try): 
rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.i386.rpm

cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
patch -p1 -R linux-2.6.1-audit.patch

make menuconfig
make && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make
install

Everything worked fine, i have reboot my computer and selected the new
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1custom but on running Xvesa i had the same
result "Segmentation fault".

2: (second try):
rpm -e kernel-source
rm -rf /usr/src/kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
rm /boot/System.map-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1custom
rm /boot/initrd-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1custom.img
rm /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1custom
rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1.i386.rpm

cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
patch -p1 -R linux-2.6.0-4g4g.patch

make menuconfig
make && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make
install

But i have received this error:

patch -p1 -R linux-2.6.1-audit.patch
patch -p1 -R linux-2.6.0-4g4g.patch

make menuconfig
make && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make
install

But i have received the same error as in step 2
