Thanks for you reply , currently we have the default kernel 2.6.18-128.el5  ( centos 5.3 ) , can i install the kernel-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.src.rpm and add the patch to this or do i have to  download the kernel 2.6.21 then compile it and then install it .  I had been to the kernel.org <http://kernel.org> and cant find the kernel 2.6.21 , the kernels available are 2.6.27.49 and above .


# yum update

should install the latest centos5 kernel (centosplus if you installed your reiser supporting kernel from there) and that should have the fixes installed.



Hi 
I have install the  kernel using the Centosplus repo .. currenlly the kernel is 
2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus
but how would i know if that patch is fixed in this version of the kernel  as mentioned in http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3156
