Does kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-* works with Redhat 7.3 distribution?

[Frank Wang]

Here is my new setup,

-kernel: from the www.kernel.org, version 2.4.18
-kdb: all the patches from the oss.sgi.com

Results:
kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-common-1: patched perfectly,
kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-common-2: patched with bunch of "reverse patch detected"
warnings,
kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-common-3: patched with bunch of "reverse patch detected"
warnings,
kdb-v2.1-2.4.18-i386-1:   patch failed.

Looking at the patch i386 patch file, it tries to patch into a directory
kdb-2.4-arch-i386/... This is not a valid directory with the 2.4.18 kernel
distribution.

Did I miss anything here?

Thanks in advance.
