Chet, Red Hat do not appear to have made a timer-patch verion of their
kernel available.  My testing of Red Hat systems with the timer patch has
been with vanilla (+ patches) 2.4.19 kernel source.

In practical terms, this means that you cannot run a Red Hat system with
the timer patch and get support from Red Hat for that system (our advice
has been that if you rebuild a kernel from the Red Hat kernel-source RPM
*without* applying any patches RH will support you, but if you patch the
kernel you're unsupported).

The latest errata kernel for RH 7.2 on S/390 is 2.4.9-43, released
early-mid May I believe.  OCO modules were available from DeveloperWorks
for this level shortly afterward.

Cheers,
Vic
