It applies to the 2.6.12-rc4 kernel. > Mybe you're wondering why these questions - cause > I check my mdk kernel and the Latest kernels > from kernel.org up to version 2.6.12-rc4 and in all > of them the file that need a patch (drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c) > has differnet older version then Your patch shown here: Don't worry about the version numbers.

If the kernel you're currently running is 2.6.12-rc4 then you can recompile only the module. Otherwise you'll have to rebuild the entire kernel. The kernel and the module must come from the same source. > d) why Your files versions differ from even very last kernels ? Because the patch was made using BitKeeper, which automatically keeps track of version numbers. There was no need to update the version number in the file since BitKeeper stored the version number separately.
