This really shouldn't be needed, but of course it never harms :)

This is correct.

You don't have to do that, the testing kernel I have built for you already
contains that patch.

It definitely should, but you can easily check to be 100% sure after installing
the kernel, that its entry remained in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and that the
/boot/vmlinuz-* and /lib/modules files for the old kernel are still there.

It will be added automatically, when you install the RPM.

> 4. run the test

Thanks.
