So you are getting kernel errors with a patch you have added?

Note that all this is working great under Debian. There is almost no connection between the distribution and compilation of "virgin" kernels, I would have thought. In any case, why not say what errors you get with the unpatched kernel? > Its the "make > dep" part that fails. "make modules" and "make modules_install" is working > fine.

You also don't need to say "make bzImage" or even "make all"; just "make" will do (followed by "make modules_install" and "make install"). > I've checked the comm.o file too at the line specified but there is just a > plain "}" without the quotes at that line.
