That's ok.

What does command "uname -r" output?

If the output is "2.4.9-13", you have built loop.o module for kernel version
"2.4.9-13custom" and you are still running kernel "2.4.9-13". Please install
your newly compiled kernel and newly compiled modules, then you are running
a kernel loop.o was compiled for.

Kernel's Makefile tried to remove
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13custom/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o

It was not there, so it was not removed.

Those errors came from "patch --dry-run" and are harmless. Makefile is just
trying to detect whether a patch applies or not. For more information type
"man patch".
