According to the Netfilter website, the time patch is in the base part
of POM so you can start POM with either "base" or "extra".

If that doesn't work...
I'm not familiar with Redhat kernels, but I do know that some distro's
use their own patched kernels (Redhat does) which can cause troubles if
you try to apply patches to them. Maybe POM doesn't "like" the Redhat
kernel.
Maybe it works when you download and patch a vanilla kernel source from
kernel.org.
