The book (right now) via
https://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter03/packages.html
and
https://linuxfromscratch.org/~thomas/multilib-m32/chapter03/packages.html
is correct. The base linux 6.16 + patch method has been done away with
in the books. The md5sum is for
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.16.7.tar.xz
specifically. I double checked:
```Bash
$ md5sum linux-6.16.7.tar.xz
890ccdaac06e063931654dd7a78a180a  linux-6.16.7.tar.xz
```

You downloaded the base linux-6.16.tar.xz file which is why you get a
different md5sum.
