From where do you have the RPM? Not from our CDs:
rpm -qlp CD5/full-names/src/kernel-source-2.4.14.SuSE-4.src.rpm
GFS-patches-2.4.5.tar.gz
defconfig.tar.bz2
kernel-source.spec
linux-2.4.14.tar.bz2
patches.ia64.tar.bz2
patches.tar.bz2
There is nothing with 2.4.10.

The source RPM only includes the patches, the full patched kernel tree
is in CD2/full-names/sparc/kernel-source-2.4.14.SuSE-4.sparc.rpm
To recompile the kernel, you only need this RPM. The source with
patches is only, if you wish to apply our patches to a newer kernel.
