This probably means you were not in the right directory level after you did "cd xxxx". Maybe too "high" or "low" in the tree. To see where you should have been, do the uncompress thing on one of the original CentOS installed archives and pipe output to cpio using -itc (add a v if more info is desired).
OOPS! Another possibility is the form of the find? I'm not sure it would have an effect, but since I'm not *that* intimate with the booting details (its screwed me a lot, but I've not been able to screw it ;-)..
"find ." is not the same as "find *" or find {x,y,z}
When the archive is extracted, relative path vs. absolute path considerations may come into play.
When you do the extract with the "cpio -ict", if the patches begin with "./", then "find ." is good. If they do not have a leading ".", that may be the problem.
