Here's my guess: When you got the revision and made the tarball, your
directory structure ended up wrong so the patch won't apply.  When you
check it out from svn you get a LinuxBIOSv2/* and you need a svn/*

If that doesn't help, I don't have enough information to help you.
Are you building for fam10 or the original Serengeti_cheetah?  Which
payload are you using?  What patch is failing?  What's the error
message?

I just built LAB payloads for both versions of Serengeti Cheetah, and
they worked for me.
