Quake 2 works intermittently for me. It seems to work better if my sound modules aren't loaded yet. If the sound modules are loaded, and I try to start up Quake 2, I get nothing. It starts to load, and switches video modes, but then freezes. If I kill quake2 from a telnet session, things go back to normal, but attempting to kill it from the machine itself is nearly impossible because you can't do anything but SysRq commands. And those don't always bring the machine back into a usable state. Check here for information on my setup.
I bet that the executables are in different directories. Check/usr/bin and/usr/sbin. If they're there, either move/copy/symlink them to where they are expected to be.

This assumes that your patch-2.2.0-pre5 is in /usr/src, and you uncompressed linux-2.2.0-pre4 to /usr/src/linux.
/usr/src/linux /usr/src/patch-2.2.0-pre5
cd
patch -p1
And you'll be done!
