I had the same problem when I tried to apply a patch to the Mandrake
2.2.13pre?? kernel source. Mandrake ships a non-standard kernel source with
their distribution, but the patches are expecting the standard kernel source
that can be found on ftp.kernel.org
To solve the problem, I:
1) broke the symbolic link "/usr/src/linux"
2) downloaded and installed the latest kernel source from ftp.kernel.org to
a directory called "/usr/src/linux-2.2.??"
3) created a symbolic link "/usr/src/linux" that points to
"/usr/src/linux-2.2.??"
HTH,
Matt
