The Red Hat kernel is a rather heavily patched 2.4.2. The patch you are using is against a "upstream", eg Linus released kernel. THe kernel Red Hat uses has several patches applied to it, the majority of those is already in 2.4.3 (either because we found a bug and sent the fix to Linus or because we took a bugfix from 2.4.3); and as as result you get conflicts if you apply that patch. If you want a 2.4.3 kernel, you can also download the official 2.4.3-12 upgrade (which is actually 2.4.3 + the ac14 patch + all bugfixes upto 2.4.5-ac16). I know that the redhat kernel is heavily patched. There should still be a way to patch a redhat kernel to 2.4.3, 2.4.5 and 2.4.6, or Redhat should release patches soon after Linus patches. Where is the officeial 2.4.3-12 and is there a 2.4.6-x? 2.4.3-12 is available in the "updates" directory for 7.1 from our ftp site and it's mirrors, and also via the "up2date" update tool. This contains all bugfixes upto 2.4.5-ac16 In the "rawhide" directory on the same ftp site you can find snapshots of our work-in-progress, which has usually a rather uptodate kernel. However these are experimental as it's a snapshot which hasn't passed through our QA process. (right now there is a 2.4.6-ac1 based kernel iirc) |
