This was rev 2.4.18-17.7.x and was released under advisory RHSA-2002:206-13 on the Red Hat errata site. This download has been replaced by a later update under advisory RHSA-2003:172-23, which released rev 2.4.20-13.7. Notice that it's not a 2.4.18 kernel any more. That's an issue if you have separate kernel patches to apply. If you don't need any other changes to your 7.3 kernel, you can download the corresponding updated binary kernel packages from the "Red Hat Linux 7.3" link on their web page at https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-172.html (or from an appropriate mirror site). If you know exactly what file you are looking for, then Google will find it quickly. For the other 99% of the time, the place to start searching for Red Hat updates is: http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/ Good luck. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
