If not, which is the correct patch to use? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unpack the src.rpm for RH9 and one of RH8.0 or RH7.3. 2. Compare all files. 3. Only file that differs is the above one. Actual Results: The files differ (see diff in description) Expected Results: All files should be equal. Additional info: If this is on prupose, please rename the file for RH9 to allow the different kernel sources/patches to coexists in the same folder.
The second variant is the correct one.
