This is true of ALL redhat kernels.

Can you explain why you need to do this?  Are these patches not
applied in the distributed kernel-source and kernel-header RPMS?
You're saying that Red Hat applies patches to build the enterprise
kernel AFTER it packages the kernel-source and kernel-headers?

Could you send me these two patch files?

I'm trying to build the enterprise kernel modules for OpenAFS 1.2.0,
although if what you say here is true, it may not work properly.  In
which case I will back-out my attempts and, well, you'll have to build
for the enterprise kernels yourself.

Thanks,
