RHEL4 was released January 2005 RHEL5 also seems to be using patch 2.5.4 (http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Client/en/os/SRPMS/). RHEL5 was released March 2007. It's only starting at RHEL6 that patch 2.6 starts to be used (http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Client/en/os/SRPMS/). RHEL6 was released November 2010. Thomas DS, you are one of our users relying on very old enterprise distros. Are you still on RHEL 4/5 ?
