That you don't have the file called 
"x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch" 
in your system. 

I have attached the version hg changeset 11884 (I doubt it's changed
since 3.0.3). 

But it really should be part of your source-code in the tarball [I
haven't tried the 3.0.3, since I'm usually "ahead" on the "unstable"
version...].

You asked about this same file a little while ago, but it appears that
it was in some other directory?? [Although it could be that they are
stored elsewhere first, and created in the correct directory when
needed, as some of the patches are probably version independent].
