2.4.1 hadn't been released when we made the beta3 tarball.  If you
want to make a beta3 patch for the kernel create an empty file call
PATCHES/fragments-2.4.1 (2.4.1 needs no extra fragments) then run
PATCHES/make.  That should remove all the conflicts.

Or checkout the LVM_0-9-patches branch of CVS.
