Update problem with PatchKit

Hello Managers !

I've an annoying problem with patchkit 3 Tru 5.1 on an ES40 (still no
cluster):

We applied the cdfs ECO which appeared last year. It was a hand-installable
patch (exchanging /sys/BINARY/cdfs.mod and regenerating /genvmunix).
Patchkit 3 now complains about /genvmunix beeing of unknown origin, so it
refuses to install patch 399 and all its dependants. So I exchanged cdfs.mod
again (to the old one) and regenerated /genvmunix. Now it successfully
applies
the cdfs patch (which is included in patchkit 3), but still refuses to
apply 399. I also played with faking the date of /genvmunix, but no success.

How to get out of this situation ? I really don't understand why /genvmunix
has to be patched because this is a file which can be easily regenerated, so
it makes no sense to check this one for patch applicability.

Thanks in advance for any help !
