I've only seen an error about something being nested too deeply if for
instance the following occurs :

cd /tmp
ln -s foo foo
cat foo
cat: foo: Too many levels of symbolic links
cd foo
bash: cd: foo: Too many levels of symbolic links

So.. it might be an idea to check what /usr/src/linux points to.


Of course it could be many other things!
