You need Linux souce code installed under /usr/src/ directory. Do you really need to patch kernel from source code? Can you tell me your Linux disto name? Most of us patch kernel using binary method, followed by reboot. It will not just save time but it is tested by many.

I was able to see your post. Sorry, for trouble. I'm looking into anti-spam plugin so that it can ignore trusted users. Right now it is giving out more trouble. It was suppose to block spammers but it is working against us.. LOL. Thanks for pointing out.
