Is the 2.2.17 the official kernel (from kernel.org and it's mirrors) or
from a distro CD?

If the latter, you'll find the distro has added their own patches which
you'll need to remove - they should have made available a patch with the
differences (which you can reverse with patch -R)

If the former, you have a corrupted patch file (or 2.2.17 tarball, or a
RAM problem that is silently corrupting stuff, etc)

All official patches should apply with zero problems to the previous
official version.
