Well, there was quite a pack of patches between these two 
versions (see below). Some of them cannot even be examined 
on bugzilla - access denied. 

Of course, it is always possible to look for a lion in the 
desert applying them in groups. But I think we better do this 
kind of checks if the problem occurs in the opposite way: 
"things work with an older kernel and they stop working with 
the new one". In this way we will have a reference point to 
start with. It seems that 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL may become such a 
point for RHEL4.
