It is for Red Hat's 2.4.3 which is not a stock 2.4.3 but has a patch in it
that changes the layout of the GDT somewhat. Actually, I think the patch
that includes PnPBIOS is an AC patch, but I don't believe it is in stock
kernels just yet.
If you want the patch, visit http://kernelrpm.sourceforge.net/ and go to
the MKI section.
Now that I am through writing my code to notify all these people with code
red that they have it when they connect to my webserver I may actually have
some time to see what I can do about the newer kernels.
First thing I am going to do is document the MKI patch so everyone will
have a better understanding of it (including myself).
