Yes, these steps should work. Actually, I just checked (copy & paste the
commands from your mail), and it works for me.

Are you sure your files are ok? md5sums for my copies of the files are

cffcd2919d9c8ef793ce1ac07a440eda  linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2
98f93075c7c24e681eaf7e70783af5e4  linux-2.6.8.1.tar.gz
98b7db13a3f13199a48e89a79d2ee388  patch-2.6.10.bz2
824b7d88ab2fabc031f1a6c1e6e288ee  patch-2.6.8.1.bz2
fe744cdcd31b97b803e51ad785520489  patch-2.6.9.bz2

Are you sure your filesystem works ok? Not out of quota?
