Alan, Thanks for the warning. Is there a collection of these patches anywhere? I just downloaded the FC3 kernel update, and it has an intriguing file named patch-2.6.10-ac12.bz2 in it. When I looked at it, though, I couldn't tell if any of the patches were security related. There were ~25 other patches that were dated after the linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2 file. I have no idea which of them might be needed either.

Make sure you also apply *all* the major fixes on top of 2.6.10 if you are building a custom non-vendor kernel. There are some local security fixes and a collection of other quite nasty bugs that were fixed just after 2.6.10 and are fixed in vendor kernels.
