The diff file does refer to the 2.0.31 directory but I assumed that
it was intended to mean the 2.0.33 directory.
If your new kernel source is in a directory /usr/src/linux-2.0.33 then
you need a link as follows: ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.0.33 /usr/src/linux
Now because the patch is looking for the source in linux-2.0.31, I put another
link in my /usr/src directory as follows:
ln -sf /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.0.31
The patch then ran without errors and the kernel compiled OK.
