I would guess that the configure script didn't find your kernel correctly and
thinks you still have 2.2. Make sure you point it at the right sources using
eg:

./configure --with-kernel_dir=/usr/src/mykernel

(watch for the hyphen and underscore!)

Then re-run make in the PATCHES directory.

You can check that configure has found the right kernel by examining the
Makefile in the PATCHES directory - it should have the following three variables
set:

KERNEL_DIR=
LVM_VERSION=
KERNEL_VERSION=
