If the patch is already applied - it is done. See what kernel you are
using first, _before_ patching ;)
Also try downloading kernel binaries first instead of compiling source.
Alternating between the two breaks the rpm manager ...
If you're using qmail instead of sendmail you can mostly relax. If
sendmail, upgrade to 8.10.12 along with the new kernel.
