2.6.16-rt20 is not guaranteed to apply cleanly to 2.6.16.15. In fact, it 
does not. The errors are trivial to resolve, but only if you have some 
idea of what you are doing.
Ingo's patches are against 2.6.16, so you should download that and then 
apply 2.6.16-rt20. This way you don't get the bugfixes between 2.6.16 and 
2.6.16.15, but then again, who said you'd get a stable kernel if you 
use -rt patches? ;)
