You have verified that /usr/src/linux is a symlink to linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r2 haven't you? If the top level MAkefile is missing, there could be any number of other files missing. You might look in /usr/portage/distfiles to see if you still have the distributioon files ls linux* and look for 2.6.22 and ls genpat* and likewise. If you do at least you could recreate the patched source tree manually. First rename your existing linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r2 to something else. After you unpack and apply patches, copy your .config file into the new. make oldconfig, make and so on. Install this kernel into /boot and update grub accordingly. Boot into it. emerge your ati driver. I am afreaid I have runn out of advice. Dave F
