Not necessarily. Red Hat's kernels contain a lot of customisations and changes versus the stock Linux tree. It's almost impossible for us to debug problems in Red Hat's kernel. It's possible (though unlikely) the bug was even introduced by Red Hat. In any case, if you need a Red Hat supplied kernel, you need to work with Red Hat. There's really no way around that. -- "It's not Hollywood. War is real, war is primarily not about defeat or victory, it is about death. I've seen thousands and thousands of dead bodies.
