[ale] Stuck in 2.4.4 kernel compilation...

[James P. Kinney III]

At this point, it sounds like you are going to need to start with a
fresh untar of 2.4.4, NOT apply the patch, make [x|menu]config, make
dep, make bzImage. Then make clean, patch, make [x|menu]config to select
the patched options, make dep, make bzImage. 

If the unpatched kernel compiles and the patched kernel won't, then you
know where the problem is :)
